For the next four weeks a spirit of miserliness seemed to have broken out among the young people, who scrimped and saved and denied themselves for days, only to succumb to the temptations of "just one little bit of a treat," which swept away most of their savings again, and left them no better off than before.
That the Indian looks upon greed of gain, miserliness, avariciousness and wealth accumulated above the head of his poorer neighbor as one of the lowest degradations he can fall to, is perhaps more aptly illustrated in this legend than anything I could quote to demonstrate his horror of what he calls "the white man's unkindness."
Knowledge without Use and Expression is a vain thing, bringing no good to its possessor, or to the race. Beware of Mental Miserliness, and express into Action that which you have learned. Study the Axioms and Aphorisms, but practice them also. We give below some of the more important Hermetic Axioms, from The Kybalion, with a few comments added to each.
Willy was the best of the bunch, but he was a fool. His miserliness and his vegetable shop hateful! The whole place was hateful; he wished he had never come there; since he had been there he had never been treated even as a gentleman. The Brookes had treated him shamefully.
Yesterday I showed Bee the empty side and said: "Theft becomes necessary only because of miserliness, so its sin must be divided between the miser and the thief. Do you not think so?" "It was not a good one," observed Bee simply, with a little smile. "What is to be done?" said I. "A portrait cannot be better than a portrait. I must be content with it, such as it is."

The rough miserliness of Vespasian and the wise economy of Antoninus Pius were far from sufficient to restore the balance; the aggravation of imposts was incessant; and the population, especially the agricultural population, dwindled away more and more, in Italy itself, the centre of the state.
Montagu re-enters the House of Commons His miserliness Pope refers to it Comments on Society Lady Mary and a first-class scandal Rémond His admiration for her Her imprudent letters to him The South Sea Bubble Lady Mary speculates for Remond She loses money for him He demands to be re-imbursed He threatens to publish her letters She states the case in letters to Lady Mar Lady Mary meets Pope His letters to her when she was abroad He affects to be in love with her Her matter-of-fact replies Her parody of his verses, "On John Hughes and Sarah Drew"
"She did write once, you will remember," answered Betty. "Did she?" with courteous vagueness. "Really, I am afraid I did not hear of it. My poor wife has her own little ideas about the disposal of her income." And Betty knew that she was expected to believe that Rosy had hoarded the money sent to restore the place, and from sheer weak miserliness had allowed her son's heritage to fall to ruin.
But in her affection for her master, whom she felt to be suffering, the old servant was heart-broken at this miserliness which exceeded her own; this utter destitution to which he abandoned himself and the whole house. The workmen of the faubourgs lived better. Thus it was that for a whole day a terrible conflict went on within her.
