The Talmud

If there is anyone to whom I owe money, I’m prepared to forget it if they are.

A mortgage casts a shadow on the sunniest field.

Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

You loan your friend money. You see them again, they don’t say nothin’ ’bout the money. ‘Hi, how ya doin’? How’s ya mama doing?’ Man, how’s my money doin’?

I’m in debt. I am a true American!

If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

There are but two ways of paying debt-increase of industry in raising income, increase of thrift in laying out.

Debt certainly isn’t always a bad thing. A mortgage can help you afford a home. Student loans can be a necessity in getting a good job. Both are investments worth making, and both come with fairly low interest rates.

Who goeth a borrowing. Goeth a sorrowing.

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

Interest on debts grow without rain.

It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times.

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

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

Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend.
