--FRANKLIN.
He that, when he should not, spends too much, shall, when he would
not, have too little to spend.--FELTHAM.
Economy is the parent of integrity, of liberty and of ease, and
the beauteous sister of temperance, of cheerfulness and health.
--DR. JOHNSON.
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
--FRANKLIN.
If you know how to spend less than you get you have the philosopher's
stone.--FRANKLIN.
Be saving, but not at the cost of all liberality. Have the soul of a
king and the hand of a wise economist.--JOUBERT.
A penny saved is two pence clear,
A pin a day's a groat a year.
--FRANKLIN.
Those individuals who save money are better workmen; if they do not
the work better, they behave better and are more respectable; and I
would sooner have in my trade a hundred men who save money than two
hundred who would spend every shilling they get. In proportion as
individuals save a little money their morals are much better; they
husband that little, and there is a superior tone given to their
morals, and they behave better for knowing that they have a little
stake in society.
No man is rich whose expenditures exceed his means; and no one is poor
whose incomings exceed his outgoings.--HALIBURTON.
EDUCATION.--The true order of learning should be first, what is
necessary; second, what is useful, and third, what is ornamental. To
reverse this arrangement is like beginning to build at the top of the
edifice.
