Zitat des Tages über Sparsamkeit / Frugality:
Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits.
Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.
I hold it the duty of the executive to insist upon frugality in the expenditure, and a sparing economy is itself a great national source.
Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality its left.
Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.
Unite liberality with a just frugality; always reserve something for the hand of charity; and never let your door be closed to the voice of suffering humanity.
That culture of frugality and discipline is really important for the Y Combinator mindset.
I'm old enough to remember in the 1930s and the 1940s when thrift, frugality, was considered an important virtue.
