Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.
I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.
I'm a practitioner of elegant frugality. I don't feel comfortable telling other people what to do, so I just try and lead by example.
Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality its left.
Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.
That culture of frugality and discipline is really important for the Y Combinator mindset.
Frugality is for the vulgar.
Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits.
My parents were born in 1912; they graduated from college into the Depression. They kept notebooks of every nickel they spent, and these habits of frugality from having grown up so poor never left them.
Without this tremendous passion for power, influence, and advantage which money gives, how could nature develop the highest type of man? Without this infinite longing, whence would come the discipline which industry, perseverance, tact, sagacity, and frugality give?
