Consider these six quotes:
A penny saved is a penny earned. – Benjamin Franklin
Money can beget money and its offspring can beget more, and so on…The more there is of it, the more it produces, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. – Benjamin Franklin
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. – Benjamin Franklin
All perplexities, confusion and distress….arise not from the defects of the Constitution, not from want of honour or virtue, but from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation. – Thomas Jefferson
But I know nothing more important to inculcate into the minds of young people than the wisdom, the honour, and the blessed comfort of living within their income, to calculate in good time how much less pain will cost them the plainest style of living which keeps them out of debt; than after a few years of splendour above their income, to have their property taken away for debt when they have a family growing up to maintain and provide for. – Thomas Jefferson
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence. – John Quincy Adams
