For of those who borrow


For of those who borrow, some read slow ; some mean to read, but don't read ; and some neither read nor mean to read, but borrow, to leave you an opinion of their sagacity. I must do my money-borrowing friends the justice to say that there is nothing of this caprice or wantonness of alienation in them. When they borrow my money they never fail to make use of it.

Charles Lamb
