10 QUOTES WITH «BORROWING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word borrowing.
1
Kelley Armstrong
I don't read much of what I write because I worry about unintentionally borrowing something.
2
Max Bill
We call those works of art concrete that came into being on the basis of their inherent resources and rules - without external borrowing from natural phenomena, without transforming those phenomena, in other words: not by abstraction.
3
Julie Bishop
The Gillard government must give up its addiction to wasteful spending borrowing and taxing.
4
Benny Blanco
Here's the thing... when people start making music, they start borrowing styles from other people, because that's what you do. You start by recreating hip-hop beats you've heard from other people, or you start mimicking other people, or you're just listening to stuff.
5
Sonny Bono
Don't cling to fame. You're just borrowing it. It's like money. You're going to die, and somebody else is going to get it.
6
Christie Brinkley
Basically he never went to work and didn't have a job. Of course I thought he did. I thought he was on the phone doing business deals instead of borrowing money from people.
7
Colin Camerer
Caltech is a very adventurous place. Part of the culture is that we tolerate people doing things that seem impossible, and also synthesizing and borrowing ideas across very kooky and unusual boundaries.
8
Kent Conrad
When you're borrowing 40 cents of every dollar that you spend, that can't continue much longer. I think everybody really does understand that, and it's going to require all of us - those who are the most fortunate among us - but it's really going to require every American to contribute to a solution.
9
Simon Cowell
Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.
10
Mitch Daniels
If our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.'
