It world be well had we more misers than we have among us.
Misers mistake gold for their good; whereas 'tis only a means of attaining it.
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 robs himself.
I am a miser of my memories of you And will not spend them.
Misers take care of property as if it belonged to them, but derive no more benefit from it than if it belonged to others.
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Misers are neither relations, nor friends, nor citizens, nor Christians, nor perhaps even human beings.
The cleverness of avarice is but the cunning of imbecility.
The miser is as much in want of what he has as of what he has not.
The miser acquires, yet fears to use his gains.
To be a Prodigal's favourite,-then, worse truth, A Miser's pensioner,-behold our lot!
The misers cheese is wholesomest
The miser deprives himself of his treasure because of his desire for it.
