Thank you for visiting these Miserly Sayings and Quotes. I hope you find value in these Quotes and Sayings about Miserly from my large collection of Inspirational Sayings.
The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,
you have missed the target.

you, your innermost being, is the target -
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
