Beggars

Famous quotes containing the word beggars:

“1st Murderer. Where’s thy conscience now?...
2nd Murderer. I’ll not meddle with it. It makes a man a coward.... It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found. It beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of towns and cities for a dangerous thing, and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“But beggars should be utterly abolished! Verily, it is annoying to give to them and it is annoying not to give to them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
