“Sumitomo Mitsui owes more than the other banks, yet its profitability is very good. It's not surprising it wants to show it's eager to pay the debt as soon as possible. Owing the government gives a bad impression.”
Yoji Takeda
“He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.”
William Penn
“Pay what you owe, and you'll know what's your own.”

Proverb
“I am not worthy of the wealth I owe, nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is; but, like a timorous thief, most fain would steal what law does vouch mine own.”
William Shakespeare
“the intelligence community owes the president (an explanation) rather than the president owing the American people.”
David Kay
“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first”
Mark Twain
