Even if without the Scott's proverbial thrift, the difficulty of solving differential equations is an incentive to using them parsimoniously. (George Pólya)
Each class preaches the importance of those virtues it need not exercise. The rich harp on the value of thrift, the idle grow eloquent over the dignity of labor. View quote
Oscar Wilde
We have not the slightest sympathy with that socialistic idea which would try to put laziness, thriftlessness and inefficiency on a par with industry, thrift and efficiency; which would strive to break up not merely private property, but what is far more important, the home, the chief prop upon which our whole civilization stands. Such a theory, if ever adopted, would mean the ruin of the entire country - a ruin which would bear heaviest upon the weakest, upon those least able to shift for themselves. View quote
Theodore Roosevelt

Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world, because not only are they the best thrift store - they're not the most thrifty thrift store - but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids, mostly homeless kids, living with AIDS and HIV in New York, in the metropolitan area.

The instances that second marriage move Are base respects of thrift, but none of love. (William Shakespeare)
The engine which drives enterprise is not thrift, but profit. View quote
John Maynard Keynes
Even if without the Scott's proverbial thrift, the difficulty of solving differential equations is an incentive to using them parsimoniously. Happily here is a commodity of which a little may be made to go a long way. ...the equation of small oscillations of a pendulum also holds for other vibrational phenomena. In investigating swinging pendulums we were, albeit unwittingly, also investigating vibrating tuning forks. View quote
