They have no fear of want, and they do not feel the necessity of studying the economy.

It is given to sustain life, to excite gratitude, to fit for the active service of God. Everything should be applied to its appropriate end, and nothing should be squandered or lost.

Kailangan mong matutunan yun girl dahil kung hindi baka malugi ka at malaspag lang yang katawan mo dito."
