Quote by William Shakespeare

A miser grows rich by seeming poor. An extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.

A miser grows rich by seeming poor. An extravagant man grows

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of appearances and how they can deceive us. It suggests that a miser, who appears to be poor, accumulates wealth over time because they are discreet and frugal in their spending. On the other hand, an extravagant man, who presents himself as rich, becomes poorer as he spends lavishly without considering the consequences. Therefore, the quote suggests that one's true wealth is not necessarily determined by what is visible on the surface, but by their financial habits and choices.
