About this Quote
This quote by Thomas Fuller is a metaphor for somebody who is a heavy drinker. The "hole under his nose" is a recommendation to the person's mouth, and the "money" is a referral to the cash they invest in alcohol. The quote is suggesting that the person is so addicted to drinking that all of their cash is going towards it, leaving them with absolutely nothing else. This quote is a warning to those who are heavy drinkers, as it suggests that they are losing their cash and not using it for anything else. It is also a tip to those who are not problem drinkers to be mindful of their spending habits and to not let their cash go to waste. The quote is a suggestion to be conscious of our spending practices and to not let our cash go to squander on things that are not beneficial to us.
"Given the choice, children who don't want for anything will not save... We have an obligation as parents to give our children what they need. What they want we can give them as a special gift, or they can save their money for it"
"I don't understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I'm interested in someone, and I don't want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I'm not interested in that person"
