Another engraving showcases the saying, "What maintains one vice would bring up two children, " reminding us that indulging in unnecessary expenses can hinder our path to wealth. Similarly, a captivating illustration warns against trusting others too much: "Trusting too much to others' care is the ruin of many. " Franklin's wisdom extends beyond finances; he also emphasizes productivity and seizing opportunities. As depicted in another engraving from the same edition, he advises us never to procrastinate: "Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today. " This powerful message encourages action and efficiency. Intriguingly, an illustration featuring a cat wearing gloves conveys Franklin's belief that pride hinders progress: "The cat in gloves catches no mice.

Lastly, we are reminded of the importance of wise decision-making when it comes to managing resources.
