QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON CREDITS
Creditor: One of a tribe of savages dwelling beyond the Financial Straits and dreaded for their desolating incursions.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914, American author, editor, journalist, "The Devil's Dictionary")
O Gold! I still prefer thee unto paper, which makes bank credit like a bark of vapor.

Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
Marcus T. Cicero (c. 106-43 BC, Roman orator, politician)
A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870, British novelist)
Remember that credit is money.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790, American scientist, publisher, diplomat)

A pig bought on credit is forever grunting.
Spanish Proverb (Sayings of Spanish origin)
Credit is like a looking glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again, but if once cracked can never be repaired.

Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises?
