[motioning for her to open the door and straigtening herself before going to her table] Mameha: Now that your beloved granny has gone you have no need for a maid.

[bowering her head in compliment] Mother: I would give you my pumpkin if she weren't already tied to Hatsumomo. Mameha: Please I would never dream of asking Mother: Besides, I can always sell Chiyo to Mrs. Tetsuyo. [smoking her cigerette] Mameha: With your eye for beauty and nose for talent,surely you can see what a terrible waste that would be. Mother: If you were not the kind hearted Geisha I know you to be, then I might think that you werescheming against Hatsumomo. [looking towards the door where Chiyo and Pumpkin are listening] Mameha: Then I'm grateful Mrs. Nita that you don't have a suspicious mind. Mother: Perhaps you can pique my interest with... your offer. Mameha: I will cover Chiyo's schooling, all her expenses, until after her debut. [proposing as she slides her cup across the table] Mother: Now I am confident that you are teasing. [pouring more tea] Mameha: I could not be more sincere. If Chiyo has not repaid her debt within six months after her debut. Mother: [scoffing] Impossible, too little time! Mameha: Then I will pay you twice over. [uping the offer] Mother: What...? No Geisha could ever... [pushing the tea towards Mameha] Mameha: And I am certain you will not object to one trivial condition. Mother: Uh yes...? [puts down pipe, listening intently] Mameha: If Chiyo erases her debt in the time allowed, You will not have any part in her future earnings. Mother: [smirks in acceptance]
Hunter Patch Adams: Death. To die. To expire. To pass on. To perish. To peg out. To push up daisies. To push up posies. To become extinct. Curtains, deceased, Demised, departed And defunct. Dead as a doornail. Dead as a herring. Dead as a mutton. Dead as nits. The last breath. Paying a debt to nature. The big sleep. God's way of saying, "Slow down." Bill Davis: To check out. Hunter Patch Adams: To shuffle off this mortal coil. Bill Davis: To head for the happy hunting ground. Hunter Patch Adams: To blink for an exceptionally long period of time. Bill Davis: To find oneself without breath. Hunter Patch Adams: To be the incredible decaying man. Bill Davis: Worm buffet. Hunter Patch Adams: Kick the bucket. Bill Davis: Buy the farm. Hunter Patch Adams: Take the cab. Bill Davis: Cash in your chips.
Dr. Stephen Maturin: Jack, I fear you have burdened me with a debt I can never fully repay. Capt. Jack Aubrey: Nonsense! Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate. Dr. Stephen Maturin: A shrub? Nonsense! I shall name a new species of tortoise after you: Testudo Aubreii!
If you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem. But if you owe a million, it has.
George Lang: Worry is like interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
A good name is still to be preferred over great riches. Especially it is to be preferred to the appearance of riches, aquired with nothing down and nothing to pay for 2 months.
Jimmy put in a word and told them that if I made it, I wouldn't be able to live with myself without paying them back. That I'd sooner die than owe anyone money for helping me. Apparently Jimmy knew more about me at that point than I knew about myself.
Steve Stifler: Dickhead. You do not send shit to my office at school. Jim: Oh, hey, Stifler. Why don't you come in and make yourself comfortable? Steve Stifler: Your letter made a great impression on Coach Marshall when he read it. Let me just refresh your memory, partner. 'Dear Steve, I will be forever in your debt if you teach me to dance like you did in the gay bar'. Jim: I put serious thought into that letter. Steve Stifler: Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Slevin: This isn't the first time this has happened, you know. Lindsey: You mean this isn't the first time a crime lord asked you to kill the gay son of a rival gangster to pay off a debt that belongs to a friend whose place you're staying in as a result of losing your job, your apartment, and finding your girlfriend in bed with another guy? Slevin: No, this is the first time THAT happened, but Nick has been painting me into corners since we were kids.
John Beckwith: Secretary Cleary, I'm John Ryan. Secretary Cleary: Hi, John. John Beckwith: I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your position paper on economic expansion in Micronesia. Secretary Cleary: You've read my position paper? John Beckwith: I read it while I was sailing my boat to Bermuda. Secretary Cleary: A sailor? Good man! Take a seat. You didn't happen to catch my speech on the Paraguayan debt and money supply issue did you? John Beckwith: Are you kidding me? I thought it was great! Your argument for the inverse ratio of capitalization to debt was genius. Now if we could just get Congress not to be so short-sighted. Secretary Cleary: Yes! Well put. Short-sighted. John, what d'you say we head onto the deck and light up a couple of cigars? John Beckwith: Stogies? Secretary Cleary: Yeah. John Beckwith: Why not?
That second man has his own way of looking at things; asks himself which debt must I pay first, the debt to the rich, or the debt to the poor? the debt of money, or the debt of thought to mankind, of genius to nature? For you, O broker! there is no other principle but arithmetic. For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys. Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord's or a banker's?
As Charles Darwin said,'The economy shown by Nature in her resources is striking,'' says the Spirit. 'All wealth comes from Nature. Without it, there wouldn't be any economics. The primary wealth is food, not money. Therefore anything that concerns the handling of the land also concerns me.

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
