Nor is thrift a painful virtue.

On the contrary, it enables us to avoid much contempt and many indignities.

It provides many honest pleasures, of which thriftlessness and extravagance deprive us.
Let no man say that he cannot economize.

There are few persons who could not contrive to save a few shillings weekly.
