On Economy and Waste (2009)

Waste makes want.
Frugality is an estate.
Economy is a great revenue.
Of all prodigality, that of time is the worst.

Waste not, want not.
You know the old proverb-pay as you go-unless you go for good.
A good driver turns in a small space.
A good saver is a good server.
Rust wastes more than use.
A fat kitchen makes a lean will.
A favor ill-placed is a great waste.
Some savers in a house do well.
He who begins and does not finish loses his labor.

After one that earns comes one that wastes.
He who saves in little things can be liberal in great ones.
The most important element in success is economy-economy of money and time.
He that does not save pennies will never have dollars.
If your means suit not with your ends, pursue those ends which suit with your means.

Take care to be an economist in prosperity; there is no fear of your being one in adversity.
See a pin and let it lie, you'll want a pin before you die.
Make no expense, but to do good to others or yourself; that is, waste nothing.
The great question is, not so much what money you have in your pocket, as what you will buy with it.

For want of a nail the shoe is lost; for want of a shoe the horse is lost; and for want of a horse the man is lost.
Thrift is better than an annuity.
He shall never want more who is thankful for, and thrifty with a little.
The true philosopher's stone is to have means and not to spend injudiciously.

The harvest and vintage come not every day, therefore be provident.
Not possession but use is the only riches.
From saving comes having.
A man's purse will never be bare,
If he knows when to buy, to spend, and to spare.
