Beggars do not envy millionaires, though of course they will envy other beggars who are more successful.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Beggars market their incapacity.
Mason Cooley
Image
Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Beggars beg to get money, not to reproach the passerby.
Mason Cooley
Image
I feel... an ardent desire to see knowledge so disseminated through the mass of mankind that it may, at length, reach even the extremes of society: beggars and kings.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Literary confessors are contemptible, like beggars who exhibit their sores for money, but not so contemptible as the public that buys their books.
W. H. Auden
Image
To-day kings, to-marrow beggars, it is only when they are themselves that they are nothing.
William Hazlitt
Image
When beggars die, there are no comets seen the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament: They are but beggars that can count their worth But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth.
William Shakespeare
Image
Unless the old adage must be verified, That beggars mounted, run their horse to death.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is bitter and all there is, and that the rest is for the emotional beggars of the earth.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Photography is without mercy--though it's nonsense to say it does not lie. Rather, it lies in a particular, capricious way which makes beggars of ministers and gods of cat's meat men.
Nick Harkaway
Image
Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.
Franz Grillparzer
Image
For most practical purposes Tarbean had two pieces: Waterside and Hillside. Waterside is where people are poor. That makes them beggars, thieves, and whores. Hillside is where people are rich. That makes them solicitors, politicians, and courtesans.
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
If all alms were given only from pity, all beggars would have starved long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Meditation opens the doors of your inner treasures, what Jesus calls the kingdom of god. Meditation is only a key, and keys are always small things, but they can unlock immense treasures. Everybody is born as a prince or a princess, but gets lost in the blind crowd of beggars.
Rajneesh
Image
Africa is destined to anarchy. It is turning into 36 Haitis, with 36 Duvaliers, full of Cadillacs, beggars and snarling dogs.
Georges Bidault
Image
So, ministers say that they teach charity. This is natural. They live on alms. All beggars teach that others should give.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
Entertainment must be a satisfying emotional experience, a stirring of the heart. We need all kinds of young men and women. Those people with an artist's eye and an executive's brain that we term directors. Those wrestlers with their souls and typewriters known as authors. The beggars on horseback called actors and actresses.
Hedda Hopper
Image
If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. (Dark-Hunter)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Image
Those who say nothing about their poverty will obtain more than those who turn beggars.
Horace
Image
He went, ever on the move, with the slow, shuffling step of wandering beggars who are nowhere at home.
Stijn Streuvels
Image
Do you know what prayer is? It is not begging God for this and that. The first thing we have to do is to get you beggars to quit begging until a little faith moves in your souls.
John G. Lake
Image
If wishes were horses, beggars might ride.
John Ray
