The man who leaves money to charity in his will is only giving away what no longer belongs to him.
Voltaire – Debt
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain – World, Debt
Credit is a system whereby a person who can not pay gets another person who can not pay to guarantee that he can pay.
Charles Dickens – Debt
I come from a world labouring under the burden of debts whose paying back exposes it to starvation or very close to it. Some of its people perish in Asia from floods, others do so in Africa from famine. In South Africa millions have been undone with rejection and with deprivation of all human rights in the age of human rights, as though they were not counted among humans.
