Read the sentence from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. I concluded, at length, that the mere speculative conviction that it was our interest to be completely virtuous was not sufficient to prevent our slipping; and that the contrary habits must be broken, and good ones acquired and established, before we can have any dependence on a steady, uniform rectitude of conduct.

Which saying from Poor Richard’s Almanac conveys a similar message?

A. “Don’t throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.”

B. “‘Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.”

C. “Well done is better than well said.”

D. “Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.”

the correct answers are:

c. “never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue.”

d. “‘it has never been heard,’ was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later.”

e. “this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke.”

hello mate, can you add the lines 206-247?

even though there may be variations in human emotions over time, the poem “ a contribution to statistics” by wislawa symborska suggests that the only unchangeable characteristic is mortality.

the author poses a distinction between the approximate and non-approximate numbers which correspond to our need for certainty in life and the difficulty of achieving it. our efforts to measure the exact often fail because the world is not always clearly structured .the poem seems to imply   that the only thing that is certain and has an exact number is death.
