I recently came across a post on Gab dating back to 2023. User "Mandy_Poppins πππ" posted:
Sayings of the Amish that go back to the 1600's
“Borrowing makes sorrowing.” (Bariye macht Sarige.)
"There are two kinds of leaders: those who are interested in the flock, and those who are interested in the fleece."
"That which controls your heart controls your life."
"A person may hoard up money, he may bury his talents, but you cannot hoard up love."
"He who has no money is poor; he who has nothing but money is even poorer."
"Many times we are climbing mountains when we ought to be quietly resting."
"Do more of less."
"The person who kills time has not learned the value of life."
"Today has one thing in which all of us are equal: time. All of us drew the same salary in seconds, minutes, and hours."
"An industrious wife is the best savings account."
"Generosity leaves a much better taste than stinginess."
"Wisdom enables one to be thrifty without being stingy, generous without being wasteful."
"Where love is, there riches be, keep us all from poverty."
"Beware of the barrenness of a too-busy life!"
Food for thought.

Wise words to live by.
Seems I know a few scriptures that match up.
Remember the reason for the season.

Wow! Thanks for sharing
Words to live by.
All are valuable words of wisdom. The last rings loud; I know several men, while highly esteemed are but worthless to me for their excuse of having no time is to cover for them not keeping their word.
A man's word is one of the most valuable things to have. Keeping your word, or not, is the measure of a man.
