It's never been more important for borrowers to arm themselves with knowledge and build sound financial-management skills.

Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.

It is a fraud to borrow what we are unable to pay.

Just because someone will lend money to you doesn't mean you should borrow it.

Borrowing is not much better than begging; just as lending with interest is not much better than stealing.

Home purchases that are very highly leveraged or unaffordable subject the borrower and lender to a great deal of risk. Moreover, even in a strong economy, unforeseen life events and risks in local real estate markets make highly leveraged borrowers vulnerable.

You want banks to take some risk, but intelligent risk.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

They explained to me that the bank cannot lend money to poor people because these people are not creditworthy.
