Oh, I wish I were a miser; being a miser must be so occupying.
The miser is as much in want of what he has as of what he has not.
Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
I covet honour in the same way as a miser covets gold.
The miser acquires, yet fears to use his gains.
The miser robs himself.
The miser deprives himself of his treasure because of his desire for it.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
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 misers cheese is wholesomest
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
To be a Prodigal's favourite,-then, worse truth, A Miser's pensioner,-behold our lot!
