Best Books For Men – Thomas Jefferson’s advice to a young boy.

Posted on 2013-12-17 by Patrick
I came across the blog Best Books For Men by virtue of being on the same Pre-Release Team for Hugh Hewitt’s new Book  “The Happiest Life” which by the way I highly encourage you to pre-order for the new year.

Among the reviews of several good books came this post concerning the timeless advice 3rd President of the United States Thomas Jefferson gave to a young boy

the list is both simple and important.  I encourage you to check out Best Books For Men as well as to head these 10 points offered by our most accomplished President.

1.  Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
2.  Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3.  Never spend your money before you have it.
4.  Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
5.  Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6.  We never repent of having eaten too little.
7.  Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8.  How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened.
9.  Take things always by their smooth handle.
10.  When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.

Timeless advice best repeated and headed to often.
