Creditors have better memories than debtors; and creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times. - Benjamin Franklin The most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning or nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at a billiard table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day. - Benjamin Franklin Oh, life would be all right if we didn't have to put up with these damned creditors who keep pestering us with the demands of their ideals. - Henrik Ibsen The creditor whose appearance gladdens the heart of a debtor may hold his head in sunbeams and his foot on storms. - Johann Kaspar Lavater (John Caspar Lavater)
