I've usually found that these quick, glad borrowers are slow, sad payers.

The biggest borrowers of money, in most countries, are the Governments, and so international finance is largely concerned with lending by the citizens of one country to the Governments of others, for the purpose of developing their wealth, building railways and harbours or otherwise increasing their power to produce.

Then since, as he says, The Borrower is a slave to the Lender, and the Debtor to the Creditor; disdain the chain!

[Lat.]; neither a borrower nor a lender be [Hamlet].
