“I, who ne'er
Went for myself a begging, go a borrowing,
And that for others. Borrowing's much the same
As begging; just as lending upon usury
Is much the same as thieving.”

“I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg.”

“It is a good world to live in,
To lend, or to spend, or to give in;
But to beg or to borrow, or to get a man's own,
It is the very worst world that ever was known.”

“6089. To borrow upon Usury, bringeth on Beggary.”

“I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.”

“The volume of credit depends upon three factors: the desire to borrow, the ability to lend and the desire to lend.”

“I've been looking for a woman to save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice.”

“And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the Various Sorrows
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
Some kept safe for tomorrow.”

“Where there is much pretension, much has been borrowed:”

“As my father used to say: “There are two sure ways to lose a friend, one is to borrow, the other to lend.””
