Who Would Have Guessed?

From frugality, comes generosity.Tao Te Ching, Ch. 67Who would have guessed?But think about it,If I am an extravagant landlord,I can't afford to give you a break When you lose your job And can't pay the rent.The same is true If I'm in debt.The bank is relentless And so must I be.Only the frugal landlord,The one who buys with cashOut of a fraction of his meansCan afford to give the honest man a breakWhen he really needs one.Only the frugal man can remain humanBecause he's free from the machine.
