A man who both spends and saves money is the happiest man, because he has both enjoyments.                                                  

                                                                                — Samuel Johnson

You must learn to save first and spend afterward.         

                                                                                — John Poole

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

                                                                                —Henry Ford

夫君子之行，静以修身，俭以养德。——诸葛亮《诫子书》

This is a way of life for a man of virtue: to cultivate his character by keeping a peaceful mind, and nourish his morality by a frugal living.

由俭入奢易，由奢入俭难。——司马光

It is easy to turn thrift into extravagance; it is difficult to turn extravagance into thrift.   —Sima Guang

Please match the following words about thrift from the Analects with their Chinese counterparts.

1. In a country of a thousand war-chariots, the ruler should be respectful in deed and faithful in word, thrifty in expenditure and affectionate towards the people and tell them to labor at the proper times of the year.

2. In ritual performance, it would be better to be thrift than lavish; in mourning service, it would be better to be deep in grief than minute in observance.

3. Extravagance leads to insubordination, and frugality to obstinacy. But it would be far better to be obstinate than to be insubordinate.

4. There is delight in plain food and water while pillowing the head on the arm. I would keep ill-gotten wealth and rank as far away as floating cloud.

A. 饭疏食饮水，曲肱而枕之，乐亦在其中矣。不义而富且贵，于我如浮云。

B. 礼，与其奢也，宁俭；丧，与其易也，宁戚。

C. 道千乘之国，敬事而信，节用而爱人，使民以时。

D. 奢则不孙，俭则固。与其不孙也，宁固。
