# MDS137 - 1989 Disney Pals and Poor Richard's Almanack, Mint, Set of 6 Stamps, Grenadines

Disney Pals Act Out Poor Richard's Almanack

To mark the 1989 World Stamp Expo, Grenada Grenadines issued this fun set of six stamps.  Benjamin Franklin published Poor Richard's Almanack annually from 1732 to 1758.  It included weather forecasts, household hints, puzzles, and other entertaining items.  These fun stamps feature Disney characters acting out some of the more well-known sayings from the almanack:

    • "Trust thyself and another shall not betray thee."
    • "A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar."
    • "No gain without pain."
    • "A true friend is the best possession."
    • "Beware of little expenses.  A small leak will sink a great ship."
    • "An egg today is better than a hen tomorrow."
