William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes

To Part With Money Is A Sacrifice Beyond Almost All Men Endowed With A Sense Of Order. There Is Scarcely Any Man Alive Who Does Not Think Himself Meritorious For Giving His Neighbour Five Pounds. Thriftless Gives, Not From A Beneficent Pleasure In Giving, But From A Lazy Delight In Spending. He Would Not Deny Himself One Enjoyment; Not His Opera-stall, Not His Horse, Not His Dinner, Not Even The Pleasure Of Giving Lazarus The Five Pounds.
