Poor Richard's Almanack
Get it in Sphinx
Coming soon to iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist to hear when Sphinx opens.
The opening
A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can scarce ever be spent.
A cold April, the barn will fill.
A countryman between two lawyers, is like a fish between two cats.
Act uprightly, and despise calumny; dirt may stick to a mud wall, but not to polish’d marble.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
