The best way to get out of debt is not to seek to get out of debt, but to seek to create wealth — David Mitchell

Hee that gets out of debt, growes rich. — George Herbert
Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It’s a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can’t get out of it.

The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised.

Williams
A father is someone who can't get on the phone, in the bathroom or out of debt. — John Walter Bratton

And is it not true that in like manner a leader of the people who, getting control of a docile mob, does not withhold his hand from the shedding of tribal blood, but by the customary unjust accusations brings a citizen into court and assassinates him, blotting out a human life, and with unhallowed tongue and lips that have tasted kindred blood, banishes and slays and hints at the abolition of debts and the partition of lands. — Plato
