Quotations about borrowing | |
We are all of us richer than we think we are; but we are taught to borrow and to beg, and brought up more to make use of what is another's than our own. Man can in nothing fix and conform himself to his mere necessity. Of pleasure, wealth and power he grasps at more than he can hold; his greediness is incapable of moderation. The reason why borrowed books are so seldom returned to their owners is that it is much easier to retain the books than what is in them. |
