Quick! I need frugal/money related quotes
I'm working on a fun little bit of script inspired by this post on Gather Little By Little. It will be free to grab from the Frugal Hacks sidebar when I'm finished.
Want to help? Leave a great quote about thrift, frugality, money, etc. in the comments. Extra points if it's funny and true. If you can, be sure to include the author and a link to a source to prove that it's legit. Anonymous quotes are acceptable as well, or your own if you said something short and pithy that you're really proud of.
One of my favorites from GLBL guy's post, to get you thinking in the right direction:
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something. – Jackie Mason

“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”

Ooops! Something is wrong with the code. It just shows the words “next quote” but the quote isn’t there.

Jenny,
Are you not seeing it on FH or on your own blog? When did you add it? I see that your comment came in just after midnight; I did find a little bug that I fixed, so try it again.

Good morning! It’s 8:21 a.m. Thursday the 21st. I re-copied and pasted the widget code from your blog to my blog and all that is showing up on my blog is “next quote script provided by Frugal Hacks”. It appears to be working fine on your blog. Sorry I was so vague before. It was after my bedtime.

Penny Wise and Dollar Stupid.
I can only qoute this from my husband. He’d always say this about people who’d do anything to save a penny now yet could not see the big picture to save the dollar in the long run.
Hope it works!

I don’t know where it came from, but one of my favorites is:

Jenny,
Sorry. It was late and I was tired too. When I found and fixed that one little bug, I missed one little letter “s”.
*NOW* it’s fixed. Try it again. Thanks for being my guinea pig.
