Debtor Quotes - page 2

People may live as much retired from the world as they like, but sooner or later they find themselves debtor or creditor to some one. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
A father who is a chronic debtor, an adulterous mother, a beautiful wife, and an unlearned son are enemies ( in one's own home). View quote
Chanakya
If the Lord should give you power to raise the dead, He would give much less than He does when he bestows suffering. By miracles you would make yourself debtor to Him, while by suffering He may become debtor to you. And even if sufferings had no other reward than being able to bear something for that God who loves you, is not this a great reward and a sufficient remuneration? Whoever loves, understands what I say. View quote
