勤俭办工厂,勤俭办商店,勤俭办一切国营事业和合作事业,勤俭办一切其他事业,什么事情都应当执行勤俭的原则。这就是节约的原则,节约是社会主义经济的基本原则之一。中国是一个大国,但是现在还很穷,要使中国富起来,需要几十年时间。几十年以后也需要执行勤俭的原则,但是特别要提倡勤俭,特别要注意节约的,是在目前这几十年内,是在目前这几个五年计划的时期内。——毛泽东
Diligence and frugality should be practised in running factories and shops and all state-owned, co-operative and other enterprises. The principle of diligence and frugality should be observed in everything. This principle of economy is one of the basic principles of socialist economics. China is a big country, but she is still very poor. It will take several decades to make China prosperous. Even then we will still have to observe the principle of diligence and frugality. But it is in the coming few decades, during the prsent series of five-year plans, that we must particularly advocate diligence and frugality, that we must pay special attention to economy. —— Mao Tse-tung
