quotations about debt
Debt haunts the mind; a conversation about justice troubles it; the sight of a creditor fills it with confusion; even the sanctuary is not a place of refuge.
DR. CHARTERY
The London and Paris Observer, 1826
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
CICERO
Epistulae ad Familiares
By no means run in debt: take thine own measure,
Who cannot live on twenty pound a year,
Cannot on forty.
GEORGE HERBERT
The Church Porch
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
BIBLE
Matthew 6:12
Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you.
J. REUBEN CLARK
Selected Papers on Religion
A debt that will be used to start a business opportunity is the only time that I ever encourage people to borrow money.
