Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
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.
Amory Lovins
I hold it the duty of the executive to insist upon frugality in the expenditure, and a sparing economy is itself a great national source.
Andrew Johnson
Frugality was my side hustle. I was really good at it.
Chris Sullivan
Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits.
Edmund Burke
I'm old enough to remember in the 1930s and the 1940s when thrift, frugality, was considered an important virtue.
Edmund Phelps
Frugality is for the vulgar.
Francois Rabelais
A dash of frugality is a good thing for everyone.
Jason Chaffetz
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.
Jeff Bezos
Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality its left.
John Ray
Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.
John Tyler
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?
Orison Swett Marden
Unite liberality with a just frugality; always reserve something for the hand of charity; and never let your door be closed to the voice of suffering humanity.
Patrick Henry
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.
Roz Chast
That culture of frugality and discipline is really important for the Y Combinator mindset.
Sam Altman
Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.
Samuel Johnson
Great entrepreneurial DNA is comprised of leadership, technological vision, frugality, and the desire to succeed.
