. End of Note
Frugality, itself a virtue, is the auxiliary to of all the other virtues
to time more than to generosity to which the unthinking would oppose it.
The sacrifice of the present to the future is the common basis of
all the virtues: frugality is among the most unremitting and
persevering exemplifications of that sacrifice. Important in all
classes is more peculiarly so to those which most abound in uncultivated
minds. To promote frugality is to promote sobriety and temperance. to work that vice, which in peaceful times,
outstrips all other moral causes of unhappiness
put together. In the prospects opined by
frugality, the wife and childrenhave their share: they derive nothing
but vexation from the money spent at the Gin shop or
the Ale house. Compared with the prodigal, the Miser
is a man of virtue
