Peter Ustinov

A church debt is the devil’s salary.

Let us live is as small a circle as we will, we are either debtors or creditors before we have had time look around.

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

Only debt is forever.

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

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

I’m in debt. I am a true American!

Even when I tweeted that I was in debt, that gave me power.

Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.

Debt is the secret foe of thrift, as vice and idleness are its open foes. The debt-habit is the twin brother of poverty.

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

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

Promises make debt, and debt makes promises.

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