QUOTES OF THE DAY

Thrift is not an affair of the pocket, but an affair of character. ~S.W. Straus

Thrift comes too late when you find it at the bottom of your purse. ~Seneca

Thrift was never more necessary in the world’s history than it is today. ~Francis H. Sisson, “Capital Needs for American Industrial Development,” 1920

Whatever thrift is, it is not avarice. Avarice is not generous; and, after all, it is the thrifty people who are generous. ~Lord Rosebery

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character. ~Calvin Coolidge

A bargain ain’t a bargain unless it’s something you need. ~Sidney Carroll, A Big Hand for the Little Lady

Be thrifty, but not covetous. ~George Herbert

By sowing frugality we reap liberty, a golden harvest. ~Agesilaus

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living. ~John D. Rockefeller

Cannot people realize how large an income is thrift? ~Cicero

Frugality may be termed the daughter of Prudence, the sister of Temperance, and the parent of Liberty. ~Samuel Johnson

He who does not economize will have to agonize. ~Confucius

Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. ~Benjamin Franklin

We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end. ~Owen Young
