An excellent mixture................................

50.  Frugality is good if accompanied by liberality.  Frugality avoids unnecessary expenses;  liberality gives to others that are in need.  Frugality without liberality produces covetousness;   liberality without frugality produces reckless waste.  Both together make an excellent mixture.  Wherever this mixture exists, happiness is found.
-William Penn,   Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims
