A saving QUOTES

1 " A saving, though an immethodical knowledge of Christ, will bring us to heaven, John 17: 2, but a regular and methodical, as well as a saving knowledge of him, will bring heaven into us, Col. 2: 2, 3. "

― John Flavel , The Fountain Of Life Opened Up (Or, A Display Of Christ In His Essential And Mediatorial Glory)

2 " Rosamond, accustomed from her childhood to an extravagant household, thought that good housekeeping consisted simply in ordering the best of everything––nothing else 'answered;' and Lydgate supposed that 'if things were done at all, they must be done properly'–he did not see how they were to live otherwise. If each head of household expenditure had been mentioned to him beforehand, he would have probably observed that 'it could hardly come to much,' and if any one had suggested a saving on a particular article–for example, the substitution of cheap fish for dear–it would have appeared to him simply a penny-wise, mean notion. "

― George Eliot , Middlemarch

3 " Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake for praying is a saving of time. "

4 " Lefever describes his financing plan with modesty:" 'Our detailed budget is realistic, but does not take into account the inflation that may occur before September 1983. The one place it could cut or reduce is item 7, the simultaneous interpreter services, if these services could be provided gratis by the U.S. government.'" " In other words, the only way to make a saving on a U.S.-subsidized project is to take money out of another U.S.-subsidized column. "
