Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.
P. T. Barnum
Image
A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained.

True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary dispense with the new pair of gloves mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.

This provision might save many persons from misery, who by some unexpected turn of fortune have lost all their means.
