Credit

Famous quotes containing the word credit:

““What are the characteristics of today’s world so that one may recognize it by them?” It pays pensions and borrows money: credit and monuments.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Money is a poor man’s credit card.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
