fund quotes

Capitals are increased by parsimony, and diminished by prodigalityand misconduct. By what a frugal man annually saves he not onlyaffords maintenance to an additional number of productive hands†but†he establishes as it were a perpetual fund for the maintenance of an equal number in all times to come.

-Smith, Adam
