Beggar

Famous quotes containing the word beggar:

    If some beggar steals a bridle
    he’ll be hung by a man who’s stolen a horse.
    There’s no surer justice in the world than that
    which makes the rich thief hang the poor one.
    Peire Cardenal (c. 1180–1272)

    I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
    Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
    I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
    A beggar may be liberal of love.
    Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,
    —Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)
