Oh, I wish I were a miser; being a miser must be so occupying.
I covet honour in the same way as a miser covets gold.
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
The misers cheese is wholesomest
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
The miser acquires, yet fears to use his gains.
The miser robs himself.
As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence; and we become misers in this respect.
The miser is as much in want of what he has as of what he has not.
To be a Prodigal's favourite,-then, worse truth, A Miser's pensioner,-behold our lot!
