Frugality.
i.
The
great
philosopher,
Dr.
Franklin,
inspired
the
mouthpiece
of
his
own
eloquence,
"Poor
Richard,"
with
"many
a
gem
of
purest
ray
serene,"
encased
in
the
homely
garb
of
proverbial
truisms.
On
the
subject
of
frugality
we
cannot
do
better
than
take
the
worthy
Mentor
for
our
text,
and
from
it
address
our
remarks.
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
groat
at
last.
A
fat
kitchen
makes
a
lean
will."
"Many
estates
are
spent
in
getting,
Since
women
for
tea
forsook
spinning
and
knitting,
And
men
for
punch
forsook
hewing
and
splitting."
ii.
If
you
would
be
wealthy,
think
of
saving
as
well
as
of
getting.
The
Indies
have
not
made
Spain
rich,
because
her
out-goes
are
greater
than
her
in-comes.
iii.
Away
with
your
expensive
follies,
and
you
will
not
have
so
much
cause
to
complain
of
hard
times,
heavy
taxes,
and
chargeable
families.
iv.
"What
maintains
one
vice
would
bring
up
two
children."
v.
You
may
think,
perhaps,
that
a
little
tea,
or
superfluities
now
and
then,
diet
a
little
more
costly,
clothes
a
little
finer,
and
a
little
entertainment
now
and
then,
can
be
no
great
matter;
but
remember,
"Many
a
little
makes
a
mickle."
vi.
Beware
of
little
expenses:
"A
small
leak
will
sink
a
great
ship,"
as
Poor
Richard
says;
and
again,
"Who
dainties
love,
shall
beggars
prove;"
and
moreover,
"Fools
make
feasts
and
wise
men
eat
them."
