Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor.

 
Malvina Reynolds
 

And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.

 
Jesus Christ
 

Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly!
O grave! where is thy victory?
O death! where is thy sting?

 
Alexander Pope
 

The volume of credit depends upon three factors: the desire to borrow, the ability to lend and the desire to lend.

 
Benjamin Graham
 

It is a good world to live in,
To lend, or to spend, or to give in;
But to beg or to borrow, or to get a man's own,
It is the very worst world that ever was known.

 
John Wilmot
