THRIFT SAYINGS OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Every little makes a mickle. - Look before or you’ll find yourself behind. He that waits upon fortune is never sure of a dinner. Learning is to the studious and riches to the careful. All things are cheap to the saving, dear to the wasteful. If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting. Beware of small expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. A penny saved is a twopence clear; a pin a day is a groat a year. Gain may be temporary and uncertain, but expense is constant and certain. It is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow It
