Our own tung shold be written cleane and pure, vnmixt and vnmangled with borrowing of other tunges.

Translation: Our own tongue should be written clean and pure, unmixed and unmangled with [the] borrowing of other tongues. Internet Shakespeare, University of VictoriaJohn Cheke
Borrowing to build factories is not the economic equivalent of borrowing to buy television sets, and it’s amazing just how few modern economists can see the difference...Borrowing to produce is the way poor countries become rich. Borrowing to consume is the way rich countries become poor. A vivid example of the latter is the stream of container ships unloading at U.S. ports and going back empty because we have nothing to ship.
Peter Schiff
Your eyes are so sharpe that you cannot onely looke through a Milstone, but cleane through the minde.
John Lyly
I, who ne'er
Went for myself a begging, go a borrowing,
And that for others. Borrowing's much the same
As begging; just as lending upon usury
Is much the same as thieving.Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women. That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era.
Ken Livingstone
We find that everything that makes up difference and number is pure accident, pure show, pure constitution. Every production, of whatever kind, is an alteration, but the substance remains always the same, because it is only one, one divine immortal being.
