and the sons of genius fear and hate; debt, which consumes so

with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot
be foregone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it
most.

ourselves ought to bear.

And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.

to neutralize the long-range effects of our national stupidity.

to whom you already owe much.
Cicero

blessing.
Alexander Hamilton
Be assured that it gives much more pain to the mind to be in
debt, than to do without any article whatever which we may seem
to want.
Thomas Jefferson
In letter to his daughter.
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding
your money you can always lay it out well. But when you get
in debt you become a slave. Therefore I say to you never involve
yourself in debt, and become no man's surety. If your friend
is in distress, aid him if you have the means to spare. If he
fails to be able to return it, it is only so much lost.
Andrew Jackson
Let every man, every corporation, and especially let every village,

keep out of debt. It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times.

Many delight more in giving of presents than in paying their
debts.

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

You load 16 tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.

I owe my soul to the company store.
Merle Travis
From song Sixteen Tons. |
