““The humbleness of a warrior is not the humbleness of the beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn’t permit anyone to lower his head to him. The beggar, on the other hand, falls to his knees at the drop of a hat and scrapes the floor to anyone he deems to be higher; but at the same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor for him.””
Carlos Castaneda
“Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread.”
D. T. Niles
“Who is there who has not been overcome by the ravages of time? What beggar has attained glory? Who has become happy by contracting the vices of the wicked?”
Chanakya
“One beggar at the door is enough. French Proverb”
French Proverb
“When beggars die there are no comets seen;The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”
William Shakespeare
“Beggars should be abolished entirely! Verily, it is annoying to give to them and it is annoying not to give to them”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“A blade of grass is light, cotton is lighter, the beggar is infinitely lighter still. Why then does not the wind carry him away? Because it fears that he may ask alms of him.”
