Quotations for saving

Saving is getting. [ Proverb ]

No alchymy to saving. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Every scrap of a wise man's time is worth saving. [ Proverb ]

If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as of getting. [ Benjamin Franklin ]

Scholars are frequently to be met with who are ignorant of nothing saving their own ignorance. [ Zimmermann ]

Avarice is generally the last passion of those lives of which the first part has been squandered in pleasure, and the second devoted to ambition. lie that sinks under the fatigue of getting wealth lulls his age with the milder business of saving it. [ Dr. Johnson ]

A sense of humor is a saving grace, and happy is that woman who has been blessed by birth with that rare sixth sense of seeing the funny side. If you have it naturally, be gladly grateful, for it is a greater gift than beauty or riches. It means cheerfulness, contentment, courage and, possessing it, you are equipped with a potent weapon against the blows of fate. [ Unknown ]

Since I have known God in a saving manner, painting, poetry, and music have had charms unknown to me before. I have received what I suppose is a taste for them, or religion has refined my mind and made it susceptible of impressions from the sublime and beautiful. O, how religion secures the heightened enjoyment of those pleasures which keep so many from God, by their becoming a source of pride! [ Henry Martyn ]
