📕Book Notes:

• We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly.

Idleness = laziness
Folly = lack of good sense; foolishness.

• God helps them that helps themselves.
• If you love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Squander = Waste

• The sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleeping enough in the grave.
• If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be as Poor Richard says, the greatest prodigality.
