A penny saved is of more value than a penny paid out (Der Sparpfennig ist reicher denn der Zinspfenning).
Martin Luther
If a workman can conveniently spare those three halfpence, he buys a pot of porter. If he cannot, he contents himself with a pint, and, as a penny saved is a penny got, he thus gains a farthing by his temperance.
Adam Smith
... a penny saved is better than a penny earned.
Martin Luther
Penny saved is a penny got.
Henry Fielding
I've already given you the answer on this subject, I have told you that I pay whatever tax I am required to pay under the law, not a penny more, not a penny less, and the suggestion that I am trying to evade tax, which is what you're putting forward, I find highly offensive and I don't intend to cooperate with you in the blackening of my character.
