There's an old English saying that goes like this:

Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Take it from me.

It's total BS

Just to be clear, "I've never heard it" isn't a bullsh!t English saying, I just hadn't heard the saying you were referring to.

Sounds more like an AB de Villiers/Morne Morkel motto than an old English saying.

Benjamin Franklin is quoted to have said: "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." It is a saying that is viewed as a commonsensical proverb. He is also quoted as saying: "The early morning has gold in its mouth."

If Benjamin Franklin said it, why are you saying it's an English saying?

Pretty sure most the signatories still considered themselves English. Just wanted to stop paying tax.
