So your best friend is in a dither. Mortgage payment is overdue, his car just collapsed and he is maxed out on credit cards. He asks you for money because you are his friend and friends help people who are in a crisis. Right? Wrong – Noooooo Noooo – if you want to keep your friendship going, you cannot do what your heart wants to do. Here are some powerful messages that you could tweet to him:
"Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most."
~ American Proverb
"Who goeth a borrowing, Goeth a sorrowing."
~ Thomas Tusser
"The borrower is servant to the lender."
~ The Bible
"You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt."
~Daniel Hannan
You Could Also Tweet Some Advice
I am sure that your friend will want to hear advice (yes, right?) but perhaps you could redeem yourself from this situation by tweeting him the following quotes:
"Christmas is the season when you buy this years gifts with next years money."
~ Unknown.
"Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them."
~ Ogden Nash
"Interest on debts grows without rain."
~ Yiddish Proverb
" The man who never has money enough to pay his debts has too much of something else. "
~ James Lendall Basford
Maybe To Really Redeem Yourself You Could Just Give Him Money
Now there is a thought. You are probably asking why? Why not? Tweet him again and say:
"Money is like fertilizer. It is only good when you spread it around." (Author unknown). I am giving you some.
"No person was ever honored for what he received. He was honored for what he gave."
~ Calvin Coolidge
"You can't have a perfect day without doing something for someone wholl never be able to repay you."
~ John Wooden
"Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can."
~ John Wesley (1703 – 1791)
"He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much."
~ Lao-Tzu
"The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving."
~ Albert Einstein
"It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving."
~ Richard Braunstein.
All Is Well That Ends Well 
Think how good you will feel after you give them money. Maybe you will win the lottery for your kindness because: What goes around comes around.
In Thailand one celebrates one's birthday by giving gifts to everyone else. It's a Buddhist recognition that giving is more important than almost anything else, because it is heartfelt generosity that will positively affect one's destiny.Very nice article.
This made me smile, Fran! It's very refreshing and generous spirited :)
