Nothing so
cements and holds together all the parts of a society as
faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are
under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they
owe to one another.
-- Marcus T. Cicero
c. 106-43 BC, Great Roman
Orator, Politician
A person who
can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee
that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting
another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has
got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to
do a walking-match.
-- Charles Dickens
