He that lends, gives.

You say you nothing owe, and so I say; He only owes, who has something to pay.

Never promise a poor person, and never owe a rich one.

Debts are like children: the smaller they are the more noise they make.

Interest on debts grow without rain.

You can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip.

To rob Peter to pay Paul.
