Unisex T-Shirt - Poor Richard Says Youth is pert and positive, Age modest and doubting: So Ears of Corn when young and light, stand bolt upright, but hang their Heads when weighty, full, and ripe
Embrace Benjamin Franklin's beautiful metaphor about humility and wisdom with this distinguished unisex t-shirt: "Youth is pert and positive, Age modest and doubting: So Ears of Corn when young and light, stand bolt upright, but hang their Heads when weighty, full, and ripe." This heritage-inspired piece celebrates Franklin's profound observation that true wisdom brings humility—the more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know.
For Those Who Grow Wiser
Picture yourself wearing a daily reminder that confidence without wisdom is just arrogance. Like young corn standing tall and empty, youth is certain of everything. But maturity—like ripe corn heavy with grain—bows its head in humility, weighted down by knowledge and experience. Whether you're navigating leadership, mentoring others, or simply growing through life, this tee becomes your acknowledgment that the wisest people are often the most humble. It's for the experienced who've learned doubt is wisdom, the mentor who knows questions matter more than answers, the mature soul who understands that certainty is the privilege of the inexperienced. A conversation starter for the humble, a philosophy for the wise.
