Debt on anything that depreciates is disastrous.

Rather go to bed supperless, than rise in debt.

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.

Debt is to man what the serpent is to the bird; its eye fascinates, its breath poisons, its coil crushes sinew and bone, its jaw is the pitiless grave.

There are some debts that can’t be paid with money.

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

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

Debt is the worst poverty.

Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.

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

Debt is normal. Be weird.

If you have debt I’m willing to bet that general clutter is a problem for you too.

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

Christmas begins about the first of December with an office party and ends when you finally realize what you spent, around April fifteenth of the next year.

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