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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
