English Synonyms and Antonyms
providence
Economy is a wise and careful administration of the means at one's disposal; frugality is a withholding of expenditure, or sparing of supplies or provision, to a noticeable and often to a painful degree; parsimony is excessive and unreasonable saving for the sake of saving. Frugality exalted into a virtue to be practised for its own sake, instead of as a means to an end, becomes the vice of parsimony. Miserliness is the denying oneself and others the ordinary comforts or even necessaries of life, for the mere sake of hoarding money. Prudence and providence look far ahead, and sacrifice the present to the future, saving as much as may be necessary for that end. (See PRUDENCE.) Thrift seeks not merely to save, but to earn. Economy manages, frugality saves, providence plans, thrift at once earns and saves, with a view to wholesome and profitable expenditure at a fitting time. See ABSTINENCE.

How to use providence in a sentence?
It is a proverbial expression that every man is the maker of his own fortune, and we usually regard it as implying that every man by his folly or wisdom prepares good or evil for himself. But we may view it in another light, namely, that we may so accommodate ourselves to the dispositions of Providence as to be happy in our lot, whatever may be its privations.
This contract is going to govern our children's education for the next 50 and 60 years in the City of Providence. ... We only get one chance to do this right and this is not a decision that can be made in secret without any engagement in the community, we're here demanding that the community to have the opportunity to know what's in the contract and to be able to provide thoughts and input before it becomes official.
Their point of departure is different and their paths diverse; nevertheless, each seems called by some secret design of Providence one day to hold in its hands the destinies of half the world. (on Russia and America)
Providence protects children and idiots. I know because I have tested it.
Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them.
