Poor Richard's Almanac (BF)

Sleeping Fox
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

Never Found
Lost time is never found again.

Early to Bed
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Be Ashamed
Be ashamed to catch yourself idle.

God Gives
God gives all things to industry.

A Sheep and a Cow
Now I have a sheep and a cow, everybody bids me good morrow.

Great Wants
Women and wine, game and deceit, make the wealth small and the wants great.

A-Borrowing
He that goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.

An Empty Bag
'Tis hard for an empty bag to stand upright!

Borrower is Slave
The borrower is slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.
