"The direct cause of the increase of capital is not work, but frugality. It is true that hard work creates the wealth that can be accumulated through frugality, but no matter how much work creates, our capital could never grow if we did not manage frugally and save.

""A tőke szaporodásának közvetlen oka nem a munka, hanem a takarékosság. Való igaz, a szorgalmas munka teremti meg a javakat, amelyeket takarékossággal fel lehet halmozni, de bármennyit teremtsen is a munka, tőkénk sosem növekedhetne, ha nem gazdálkodnánk takarékosan és nem tartalékolnánk."
