Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.
Will Smith
Image
How come I love having an episode of deja vu? It's akin to an out-of-body experience, I would think. It sits with me, happily, begging me to delve into my memory to find its match point.
Rachel Nichols
Image
The naked female body is treated so weirdly in society. It's like people are constantly begging to see it, but once they do, someone's a hoe.
Lena Horne
Image
Every human being should be taught that his first duty is to take care of himself, and that to be self-respecting he must be self-supporting. To live on the labor of others, either by force which enslaves, or by cunning which robs, or by borrowing or begging, is wholly dishonorable. Every man should be taught some useful art.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
An essential portion of any artist’s labor is not creation so much as invocation. Part of the work cannot be made, it must be received and we cannot have this gift except, perhaps, by supplication, by courting, by creating within ourselves that ‘begging bowl’ to which the gift is drawn.
Lewis Hyde

You don't need a record deal. You'll have the industry begging for you, when you build your buzz.
Russell Simmons
Image
I don't pray. When I was young, I vowed I never would be caught begging God. If I want something I get it for myself. I go to church only to show the old hens they don't get me down.
Louise Erdrich
Image
So give to the poor I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.
Saint Augustine
Image
As long as the factories are in the hands of the whites, the housing is in the hands of the whites, the school system is in the hands of the whites, you have a situation where the blacks are constantly begging the whites can they use this or can they use that. That's not any kind of equality of opportunity, nor does it lend toward one's dignity.
Malcolm X
Image
So here we are, in our rare and precious lives, surrounded by gorgeous moments begging to be noticed and celebrated. Go! Celebrate!
Sark
Image
There are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are.... Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.
Markus Zusak
Image
Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a begging.
Martin Luther
Image
Beware of begging God for things you don't have to have.
James MacDonald
Image
And now Rocky is begging me to watch Dora the Explorer with him. I understand that millions of kids love Dora and have learned to read or whatever from her show. But I wouldn't mind if Dora fell off a cliff and took her little pals with her
Meg Cabot
Image
What is a screenplay? 120 pages of begging for money and attention.
James Schamus
Image
If something happened to me, whose face will be on the front page of the paper begging for me? Is a person worth more because they have someone to grieve for them?
Melina Marchetta

Stephanie, I'm begging you. Eat some doughnuts. I can't keep going like this. - Morelli
Janet Evanovich

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
Nineteen eighty is almost here, thank God. the hippies are getting old, they blew their brains on acid and now they're begging on street corners all over San Francisco. Their hair is tangled and their bare feet are thick and gray as shoes. We're sick of them.

Playwriting, like begging in India, is an honorable but humbling profession.
Moss Hart
Image
Then, finally, the third year, begging the parents, I got the Superman Halloween costume. Cardboard box, self-made top, mask included. Remember the rubber band on the back of that mask? That was a quality item there, wasn't it? That was good for about 10 seconds before it snapped out of that cheap little staple they put it in there with.
Jerry Seinfeld
Image
This desire of knowledge and the wonder which it hopes to satisfy are the driving power behind all the changes that we, with careless, question-begging inference, call progress.
Nicholas Murray Butler
Image
I'm not begging to be remembered or whatever. I did my thing, and if you remember, that's even better. But if you don't, there's so many other things going on.
Jimmy Connors
Image
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
