“As for begging, it is safer to beg than to take, but it is finer to take than to beg.”

“If begging should unfortunately be thy lot, knock at the large gates only.”

“Beggars should be entirely abolished! Truly, it is annoying to give to them and annoying not to give to them.”

“God ordains that beggars should beg for greatness, as for all else, when greatness shines out of them, and they don't know it.”

“Without comprehension, the immigrant would forever remain shut -- a stranger in America. Until America can release the heart as well as train the hand of the immigrant, he would forever remain driven back upon himself, corroded by the very richness of the unused gifts within his soul.”

“A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
