Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.
The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.
Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
The world has not yet learned the riches of frugality.
Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits.
Let frugality and industry be our virtues.
Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield.
Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality its left.
Gaining money by my industry and frugality, I lived very agreeably. . . .
Without industry and frugality, nothing will do; with them, everything.
Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.
The way to wealth depends on just two words, industry and frugality.
So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last.
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
A cardinal principle of the gospel is to prepare for the day of scarcity. Work, industry, frugality are part of the royal order of life.
[T]he importance of piety and religion; of industry and frugality; of prudence, economy, regularity and an even government; all . . . are essential to the well-being of a family.
Industry and frugality, as the means of procuring wealth . . . thereby [secures] virtue, it being more difficult for a man in want to act always honestly. . . .
