Meaning of “It works for to-day, but also provides for…”
Good stewardship balances present needs with future obligations instead of treating either immediate enjoyment or distant security as the only concern.
Where does it come from?
Thrift, Chapter I, “Industry,” Project Gutenberg #14418. The sentence occurs in the same definition of thrift as an acquired principle of conduct: present enjoyment is subordinated to forethought so that action serves today while providing for tomorrow.
