Debasish Mridha

Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them.

Debt is the secret foe of thrift, as vice and idleness are its open enemies.

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

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

Crito, I owe a cock to Asclepius; will you remember to pay the debt?

I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man’s surety.

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

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.

Wouldst thou shut up the avenues of ill, Pay every debt as if God wrote the bill.

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

A man must cut down his outgoings and save his incomings if he wants to clear himself; you can’t spend your penny and pay debts with it too. Stint the kitchen if the purse is bare. Don’t believe in any way of wiping out debts except by paying hard cash. Promises make debts, and debts make promises, but promises never pay debts…

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

Debt is a prolific mother of folly and of crime.

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

I like my players to be married and in debt. That’s the way you motivate them.
