A short note from Poor Richard
Surfing through some of the lesser-known proverbs of Poor Richard, I stumbled across this:
Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.
First, as true today as in 1734. Second, who knew that Benjamin Franklin used the word "blockhead," which -- along with "bonehead" -- is one of my favorite condemnations.

More which show nothing ever changes (in Gov't):
The King’s cheese is half wasted in parings: But no matter, ’tis made of the peoples milk.
The good Paymaster is Lord of another man’s Purse.
