Benjamin Franklin's Frugal Talk

Frugality has a great history in the United States.  Both Benjamin Franklin and Ralph Waldo Emerson extolled and promoted the 'simple life.'

Quotes from Benjamin Franklin:


1. “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

2. “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”

3. “Having been poor is no shame, being ashamed of it is.”

4. “He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.”

5. “Rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.”

- Benjamin Franklin


Today's pictures are the sort of 'castle ruin' we have in Ontario - a barn silo standing alone in an abandoned field. This one is up on the escarpment.
