    "For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry."

    -Hamlet,
    Act I, Scene 3.

    "If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not
    As to thy friends, for when did friendship take
    A breed for barren metal of his friend?
    But lend it rather to thine enemy,
    Who, if he break, thou mayst with better face."

    -Merchant of Venice,
    Act I, Scene 3.

    "He that dies pays all debts."

    -The Tempest,
    Act III, Scene 2.

    "He lends out money gratis and brings down the rate of usance here with us in Venice."

    -The Merchant of Venice, Act I Scene 3.

    "Money is a good soldier, and will on."

    -The Merry Wives of Windsor,
    Act II, Scene 2.

    'Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.”

    -Hamlet,
    Act I, Scene 3.
