James H. Aughey

A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt.

You should always live within your income, even if you have to borrow to do so.

Home life ceases to be free and beautiful as soon as it is founded on borrowing and debt.

The impulse dances inside the debt.

One of the greatest disservices you can do a man is to lend him money that he can’t pay back.

People are living longer than ever before, a phenomenon undoubtedly made necessary by the 30-year mortgage.

I owe much; I have nothing; the rest I leave to the poor.

Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Many delight more in giving of presents than in paying their debts.

Debt that peculiar nexus where money, narrative or story, and religious belief intersect, often with explosive force.

He who promises runs in debt.

Only debt is forever.

Simply put, unsustainable debt is helping to keep too many poor countries and poor people in poverty.

The second vice is lying, the first is running in debt.
