As for begging, it is safer to beg than to take, but it is finer to take than to beg.
Oscar Wilde
The question of integrity will get finer and finer and more delicate and more beautiful.
Buckminster Fuller
Fifteen years ago, there was this country called the Soviet Union that had over 10,000 nuclear warheads pointed at us... they're not there anymore. That's a good thing. And when people talk about how the world is more dangerous now than it was because we had these terrorists running around, my reply is, you know, a terrorist is like a buzzing mosquito. About 15 years ago, there was a great, big vampire bat; that's several orders of magnitude different from a mosquito. So the world is much safer — a lot safer than it was. It's not perfectly safe, but it's a heck of a lot safer than it was.
Tom Clancy
I, who ne'er
Went for myself a begging, go a borrowing,
And that for others. Borrowing's much the same
As begging; just as lending upon usury
Is much the same as thieving.Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
"There are only a certain number of people who are begging. These are the same people and the assumption that begging is increasing is in fact wrong because it is the same people who keep moving about."
Adi Asenaca Caucau
Your earthly body is after all nothing more than a dress and inside it is a finer dress, and you yourself are in this finer dress.
