“If you have money, don't lend it at interest. Rather, give [it] to someone from whom you won't get it back."”

“[A banker is] a man who will lend you money if you can prove to him that you don't need it.”

“If you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work.”

“The secret of high finance… if you really need a loan, you won't qualify. And if you don't need a loan, all the lenders will line up to give you money.”

“It's simply human nature to have an occasional, fleeting interest in someone whom you once loved.”

“You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?”

“The hole in one's heart gets filled by others around you. Friends won't flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things don't go the way he wants them to. That won't help fill the hole in your heart. And people won't help those who run away and do nothing. As long as you don't give up, there will always be salvation.”

“No one has a natural right to the trade of a money lender, but he who has the money to lend. Let those then among us who have a moneyed capital and who prefer employing it in loans rather than otherwise, set up banks and give cash or national bills for the notes they discount. Perhaps, to encourage them, a larger interest than is legal in the other cases might be allowed them, on the condition of their lending for short periods only.”

“Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor.”

“Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.”
