Thoughts For The Times.
The New Thrift
“Nothing can take the place of intelligent attention.” Any man can repeat after Ben Franklin “Save, save; take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.”
They won’t; they will make themselves wings, if they are not kept busy making money. It’s easy to lose money and just as easy to make it; thinking prevents one and does the other. We have been taught that to make money is the gift of the few; it is the natural inheritance of the man or the woman who will think.
When one is really making money, and not. merely grabbing what somebody else makes, he is too busy to waste it. What proportion of their incomes do Henry Ford or Edison waste?
