To borrow scarce is better than to beg; As lending, lending upon interest, Scarce better is than stealing.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Stealing, Lending, Interest
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Kuno Fischer (1867). “Nathan the Wise: A Dramatic Poem”, p.90
To borrow scarce is better than to beg; As lending, lending upon interest, Scarce better is than stealing.
