Guard thy treasure from loss by investing only where thy principal is safe, where it may be reclaimed if desirable.

The gold we may retain from our earnings is but the start. The earnings it will make shall build our fortunes.

Budget thy expenses that thou mayest have coins to pay for thy necessities, to pay for thy enjoyments and to gratify thy worthwhile desires without spending more than nine-tenths of thy earnings.

For every ten coins thou placest within thy purse take out for use but nine. Thy purse will start to fatten at once and its increasing weight will feel good in thy hand and bring satisfaction to thy soul.

Learn these lessons thoroughly, that ye may also plant in your own purse the seed of wealth.

A part of all I earn is mine to keep. Say it in the morning when you first arise. Say it at noon. Say it at night.

Thou bringeth to my mind a new understanding. Thou makest me to realize the reason why we have never found any measure of wealth. We never sought it.
