Publisher's Synopsis
Reclaim the lost art of thinking with this classic book that impressed even one of the world's greatest thinkers: Benjamin Franklin! This book is a delight to read, filled with hundreds of succinct proverbs and maxims, many of which are brought to life by accompanying fables and stories. Much of its words of wisdom would serve us and society well if taken to both heart and head and discussed in schools, by community clubs, and at dinner tables. Great care has been taken in remastering this classic, staying true to the content while making judicious edits to be more accessible to today's audience and be quotable without losing its charm. This version contains additional maxims and stories from the fourth and final edition; moreover, the Kindle version contains hundreds of hyperlinks throughout so you can easily traverse between the maxims and the associated stories, and X-ray has been enabled for even more insight. Read, enlighten your mind, and elevate your life!
