Government Borrowing

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or borrowing:

    Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Well-borrowed and well-returned, then borrowing again will not be spurned.
    —Chinese proverb.
