“Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks.”
“Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!”
“I NEVER lost as much but twice, And that was in the sod; Twice have I stood a beggar Before the door of God! Angels, twice descending,Reimbursed my store. Burglar, banker, father, I am poor once more!”
“It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane.”
“I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best. ”
“I am too poor to bow.”
