Grocott & Ward, comps.  Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed.  189-?.
 
Borrow
 
Who borrow much, then fairly make it known
And damn it with improvements not their own.
        Dr. Young.—Love of Fame, Sat. III. Line 23.		  1
The borrow’d Majesty of England.
        Shakespeare.—King John, Act I. Scene 1. (Chatillon to the King.)		  2
Neither a borrower nor a lender be:
For loan oft loses both itself and friend;
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
        Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 3. (Polonius to Laertes.)		  3
Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
        Cicero.—To Atticus, V. 1.		  4
