Foreign Debt

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or debt:

    A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Man’s pity for himself, or for his son,
    Always premising that said son at college
    Has not contracted much more debt than knowledge.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
