Usury Proverbs
Completing a transaction with money borrowed at usury is a bad purchase.
Sicilian Proverb
Folks say there is a lack of four sorts of people on earth: of priests, else one would not have six or seven benefices; of gentleman, else every boor would not want to be a squire; of whores, else married women and nuns would not carry on the trade; of Jews, else Christians would not practise usury.
German Proverb
Earnings from usury don't last long.
