Ever since I participated in the Ben Franklin Print Exchange with local Portland letterpress artists last fall I can’t keep Poor Richard’s Almanac proverbs from popping into my head. When a recent discussion about my thriftiness started getting long in the tooth, my mind wandered into this interpretation of “A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned”. File this under “30-second-designs” for time thrifts.
A similar quote I like is “Mind the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.” You can apply it to so many other instances aside from saving money. Focus on the details while working towards a larger goal, and so on.
