Beggar Maid

Famous quotes containing the words beggar and/or maid:

    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)

    None but a maid is roused by a love song. And this was a maid, an old maid.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
