Let your purse be your master.

More proverbs about Wisdom

• Don't quarrel with the beggar for his bone. Arguing with someone who has nothing to lose is pointless and beneath your dignity.
• Raise no more spirits than you can conjure down. Ambition beyond your control creates chaos you cannot contain or resolve.
• There's reason in roasting of eggs. Even mundane tasks, properly executed, follow rational principles worth understanding.
• If there were no receivers there would be no thieves. Demand for stolen goods creates the market incentive that drives theft itself.
• He that reckons without his host must reckon again. Failing to consult those involved in plans leads to miscalculation and necessary revision.
