Awesome Quotes

I know it is unconventional, as it is not yet Witty Wednesday, but I really must share these quotes with you. These come from Poor Richard's Almanac, written by Benjamin Franklin, and are quite witty indeed.

---"Many estates are spent in the getting,
     Since women for tea forsook spinning and knitting,
     And men for punch forsook hewing and splitting."

---"Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets have put out the kitchen fire."

---"Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads."

---"A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle."

Which of these is your favorite?

  1. My favorite is the last: A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle. Both witty and very true!
