Samuel Smiles：Thrift, Excerpt 340

Take, for instance, the humblest of coins--a penny. What is the use of that little piece of copper--a solitary penny? What can it buy? Of what use is it? It is half the price of a glass of beer. It is the price of a box of matches. It is only fit for giving to a beggar. And yet how much of human happiness depends upon the spending of the penny well.
