When I get hold of a book I particularly admire, I am so enthusiastic that I loan it to someone who never brings it back.

Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.

It is better to give one shilling than lend twenty.

Lend only what you can afford to lose.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.
