"If you know how to spend less..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.”

“Rich widows are the only secondhand goods that sell at first-class prices.”

“Little boats should keep near shore”

“Even now, if I am thinking about spending a lot of money on clothing or furniture, I think 'I can't spend so much money on one thing; my poor old Daddy could have raised his family five years on that!'”

“I think being poor has been good for me. I saw how my mom and dad struggled, and how they could stretch a dollar farther than you could begin to imagine.”

“A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose to the grindstone.”

“I shall rejoin myself to my native country, with new attachments, and with exaggerated esteem for its advantages; for though there is less wealth there, there is more freedom, more ease, and less misery.”

“If I had a dollar for every time someone made fun of me in high school-oh wait, I do!”

“What I know for sure is that it's only when you make the process your goal that the big dream can follow. That doesn't necessarily mean your process will necessarily lead you to wealth or fame. In fact, your dream may have nothing to do with tangible prosperity and everything to do with creating a life filled with joy, one with no regrets and a clear conscience. I've learned that wealth is a tool that gives you choices, but it can't compensate for a life not fully lived and it certainly can't create a sense of peace within you.”
