George Herbert

Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.

Ten million dollars after I’d become a star I was deeply in debt.

Debt is a mistake between lender and borrower, and both should suffer.

The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.

Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt.

It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times.

Debt can turn a free, happy person into a bitter human being.

He that dies pays all debts.

It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.

If I owe you a pound, I have a problem; but if I owe you a million, the problem is yours.

When you get in debt you become a slave.

Owing money has never concerned me so long as I know where it could be repaid.

Some people use one half their ingenuity to get into debt, and the other half to avoid paying it.

If you’re thinking of debt, that’s what you’re going to attract.

Forgetfulness. A gift of God bestowed upon debtors in compensation for their destitution of conscience.
