Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be
NEITHER A BORROWER NOR LENDER BE
Because lending to friend may lose you that friend:
If he cannot repay and feels indebted, his burden is double:
How to be independent is what he needs to learn ;
And borrowing for myself discourages me to think of the end:
And such sloppy thinking will land me in trouble -
Thinking there is no need to save or plan or even earn.
