- Who goeth a borrowing
- Goeth a sorrowing.
THOMAS TUSSER, June's Abstract
Home life ceases to be free and beautiful as soon as it is founded on borrowing and debt.
HENRIK IBSEN, A Doll's House
It is easier to refuse a friend a loan than to press him for payment.
If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some; for he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Poor Richard's Almanac
