It is very iniquitous to make me pay debts, you have no idea, of the pain it gives one.

A mortgage casts a shadow on the sunniest field.

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

A Debt Problem Is, At Its Core, a Budgeting Problem.

Debt is dumb. Cash is king.

If I owe you a pound, I have a problem; but if I owe you a million, the problem is yours.

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

We can pay our debts to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves.

Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.

A small debt produces a debtor; a large one, an enemy.

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies forever in debt to those who are kind.

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

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’?

We all think we’re going to get out of debt.

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.
