Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'

I'm old enough to remember in the 1930s and the 1940s when thrift, frugality, was considered an important virtue.

This is the paradox of thrift: belt-tightening causes people to lose their jobs, because other people are not buying what they produce, so their debt burden rises rather than falls.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living.

Resolve not to be poor; whatever you have, spend less.

How great, my friends, is the virtue of living upon a little!

Thrift is a great revenue.

Let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrer money to do it with.

Anyone who lives within his means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Economy, in the estimation of common minds, often means the absence of all taste and comfort.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annualincome twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.

Men do not realize how great an income thrift is.

Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part of true economy.

Economy is a distributive virtue, and consists not in saving but in selection.

A penny saved is a penny to squander.

Men are divided between those who are as thrifty as if they would live forever, and those who are as extravagant as if they were going to die the next day.

I have noticed that it is the easy-going ones among us who have the best time; in this climate, at the rate a stove eats wood, if a man were to grow too thrifty or forehanded he'd never be able to crawl out from under his woodpile.

A man often pays dear for a small frugality.

I am moneys medium. It passes through me- taxes, insurance, mortgage, child support, rent, legal fees. All this dignified blundering costs plenty.
