Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.
The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Nature...does not act by means of many things when it can do so by means of a few.
My father, being a Scotsman, taught me to look after finances. I'm shrewd. Some people may call me tight.
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
There is nothing worse than being ashamed of parsimony or poverty.
A penny saved is twopence dear; A pin a day 's a groat a year.
When Jack Benny has a party, you not only bring your own scotch, you bring your own rocks.
I'm careful with money.
Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.
I don't spend a lot of money on myself, really.
A good theory explains a lot but postulates little.
wise economy … is as far removed from parsimony as from corrupt and corrupting extravagance.
Economy I consider a virtue & should be practiced by all; there is certainly no way in which money can be laid out than in the education of children.
There is no gain so certain as that which arises from sparing what you have.
I'm all about saving money.
Get maximum effect from minimum effort.
I think simplicity is a good guide: The more economical a theory, the better.
I'm stingy and I'm proud of the reputation.
It is much more rewarding to do more with less.
My Mum brought me up to believe that if you look after the pennies then the pounds look after themselves, and I could never do it.
A penny saved is two pence clear.
The brave are parsimonious of threats.
I knew once a very covetous, sordid fellow [perhaps William Lowndes], who used to say, 'Take care of the pence, for the pounds will take care of themselves.
It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her I s, to save ink.
