Frugality is a handsome income.～Desiderius Erasmus
節儉是可觀的收入。
It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow. ～Aesop
節儉是今天為明天的需要做準備。
Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor. ～ Samuel Johnson
不懂節儉，無人能致富；有了節儉，幾乎沒有窮人。
Frugality is good if liberality be joined with it. The first is leaving off superfluous expenses; the last is bestowing them to the benefit of others that need. The first without the last begets covetousness; the last without the first begets prodigality. ~ William Penn
節儉如果與慷慨相結合，那麼節儉是好的。前者是省去多餘的開銷，後者是施予，使需要的人受益。有節儉而沒有慷慨，會成為貪婪，有慷慨而沒有節儉，則產生浪費。
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher’s stone. ～Benjamin Franklin
如果你知道如何讓支出少於收入，你就有了點金術。
The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.～Lin Yutang
生命的智慧就在於去其所不需。
Frugality is the mother of all virtues. ～Justinian I
節儉為眾德之母。
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠無定的錢財；只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。（提前6:17）
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
他們吃飽了，耶穌對門徒說：「把剩下的零碎收拾起來，免得有糟蹋的。」他們便將那五個大麥餅的零碎，就是眾人吃了剩下的，收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。（約6:12-13）
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給人。（提前6:18）
Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
吃素菜，彼此相愛，強如吃肥牛，彼此相恨。（箴15:17）
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
只要有衣有食，就當知足。（提前6:8）
