Quote by Bob Hope

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove you don't need it.

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove

Summary

This quote humorously addresses the irony behind borrowing money from a bank. It implies that banks are often hesitant to lend money to individuals who are truly in need or facing financial difficulties. Instead, banks typically prefer to lend to those who are financially stable and have a track record of not needing the money. This statement sheds light on the somewhat contradictory nature of the banking system and the difficulties faced by individuals who require financial assistance.

I do not comprehend those rules of conduct that make us so content with self and so cold to those we love. I detest prudence, I even hate (suffer me to say so) those duties of friendship which substitute propriety for interest, and circumspection for feeling. How shall I say it? I love the abandonment to impulse, I act from impulse only, and I love to madness that others do the same by me.
