    Default Frugal Quotations

    I searched but couldn't find a thread on this, so I'd like to know what some of your favorite frugal quotes are. Two of mine are in my siggy. This is another:

    I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:
    The first is deep love,
    The second is frugality,
    And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.
    Because of deep love, one is courageous.
    Because of frugality, one is generous.
    Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.

    Lao-tzu (604 BC - 531 BC), The Way of Lao-tzu

    Another fave:

    The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means.

    This is an oldie....but I love this one.

    Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”—Author unknown
    "We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen; For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
    - 2 Corinthians 4:18
