It is constancy rather than size.

What the document says

Faithful and thrifty.

It does not overreach, and stacks steadily.

Resting in safety alone loses the opening; at times it does well to venture.

The vessel for stacking is ample.

Worth comes from turning it, not from hoarding.

As much as is earned remains.

Without clamour, the granary fills.

Keeping takes all the strength.

Stop the leaks first, before trying to increase.

Ten years of honest stacking.

Household and credit steady, and the yield ripens.

Steady effort becomes the yield as it stands.

Wealth and trust accumulate when it is gathered faithfully rather than staked.

Keeping the small promise is of use.
