Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does need, is dear a penny
Posted by Marta on February 01, 2002
Hi everybody!
Pleased to meet you. I'm a Spanish free-lance
translator and I'm just happy that I've found you ;-)
I hope you can help me
with this sentence:
"Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does
need, is dear at a penny".
I think I've understood its meaning (perhaps: superfluous
things are always expensive; necessary things are not). But I wonder if it is
a phrase used in specific situations and even if I have undestood it correctly.
Thanks
in advance.
