Jack’s Winning Words 9/9/08
“If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.”
(Ben Franklin) Many of Ben’s pungent proverbs were printed in a book, called, Poor Richard’s Almanac. He first began publishing them in 1732, the year of George Washington’s birth. Many are as meaningful today as they were when he first composed them. I smiled at this one, because it’s like a mirror. ;-) Jack


FROM M.L. IN IL: good old ben...a fascinating and quirky guy! REPLY: You two should get along just fine.

FROM J.L. IN MI: Yep, it's a good one! It made me smile because I have a friend who will not let anyone do anything because no one can do it as good as she can. I am content to sit by and watch her work! I smile then too!
