Sammy Davis, Jr.

What have I got? No looks, no money, no education… just talent.

I have to be a star like another man has to breathe.

If you’re trying to get out of debt, you have to be willing to treat everything as expendable.

Debt is a prolific mother of folly and of crime.

A debt is still unpaid, even if forgotten.

It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times.

A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.

The impulse dances inside the debt.

Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound.

Promises make debt, and debt makes promises.

He that dies pays all debts.

Who goeth a borrowing. Goeth a sorrowing.

When you get in debt you become a slave.

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

Interest on debts grow without rain.

Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift…. The hangover comes the day after.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
