Don't throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
'Tis true there is much to be done, . . . but stick to it steadily, and you will see great effects, for constant dropping wears away stones . . . and little strokes fell great oaks, as Poor Richard says. . . .
Constant dropping wears away stones
Get what you can, and what you get hold; 'tis the Stone that will turn all your Lead into Gold.
Don't throw stones at your neighbours, if your own windows are glass.
