Loan Words

Famous quotes containing the words loan and/or words:

    Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
    For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
    And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
    This above all: to thine own self be true,
    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not then be false to any man.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As words go crying after themselves, leaving the dream
    Upended in a puddle somewhere
    As though “dead” were just another adjective.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
