Question

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?

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

“Well done is better than well said.”

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

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