Neither beg of him who has been a beggar, nor serve him who has been a servant.

Give a beggar a bed and he’ll repay you with a louse.

Beggars can never be bankrupts.

Beggars fear no rebellion.

Beggars breed and rich men feed.

Beggars can’t be choosers.

God help the rich, the poor can beg.

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

He who knows how to beg may leave his purse at home.

Set a beggar on horseback, and he’ll outride the Devil.
