Hudson Taylor and Charles Spurgeon believed that Romans prohibits debt altogether. However, if going into debt is always sin, it's difficult to understand why Scripture gives guidelines about lending and even encourages lending under certain circumstances. Proverbs says "the borrower is servant to the lender." It doesn't absolutely forbid debt, but it's certainly a strong warning.

Randy Alcorn

Debt is a mistake between lender and borrower, and both should suffer.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

William Shakespeare

The borrower is a slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.

Benjamin Franklin

Of all created comforts, God is the lender; you are the borrower, not the owner.

Ernest Rutherford

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

William Shakespeare

Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world, and love is the only thing that will pay ten percent to both borrower and lender.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world, and love is the only thing that will pay ten percent, to borrower and lender both.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite. The danger occurs when the debt is not repaid. Every minute spent on not-quite-right code counts as interest on that debt. Entire engineering organizations can be brought to a standstill under the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation, object-oriented or otherwise.

Ward Cunningham

Unlike other loans, a reverse mortgage doesn't have to be repaid until the borrower moves out of the home or passes away.

Jean Chatzky

Lenders look at potential borrowers from many angles before extending credit: How much of its income will a household need to put into debt repayment? How large is the down payment? Does the borrower have a job with a stable income? What is the borrower's credit score?

Mark Zandi

The Question to be considered is, Whether the Government have reason by a Law, to prohibit the taking more than 4 l. per cent Interest for Money lent, or to leave the Borrower and Lender to make their own Bargains.

Dudley North

It is assumed that when anyone gets into debt, the fault is entirely and always the fault of the lender.

Bernard Levin

When a bank calls in a loan, it obviously hurts the customer in question. But it also adversely affects other banks that have lent to this borrower. They are now less likely to be repaid and so can't as readily lend to their own customers.

Eric Maskin

The borrower runs in his own debt.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

Ben Bernanke
