The shoulders of a borrower are always a little straighter than those of a beggar

"Du härstammar från Herren Adam och Fru Eva," sade Aslan. "Och det är både tillräckligt med ära för att resa huvudet på den fattigaste tiggaren, och tillräckligt med skam för att böja axlarna på den störste kejsaren på jorden. Var nöjd."
'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. 'And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.'

"Time to put off the world and go somewhere
And find my health again in the sea air,"
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"And make my soul before my pate is bare."

Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive. Lenders are always looking at the borrower in terms of ability to pay off the loan. If the borrower is going to have a much smaller loan, it's more feasible for the lender. It's less risky and a better transaction.
Patrick Ford
It is better to be a beggar than ignorant; For the beggar only wants money, but an ignorant person wants humanity.
Aristippus
RESPONSIBILITY, n. A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.
Alas, things ain't what we should see If Eve had let that apple be; And many a feller which had ought To set with monarchses of thought, Or play some rosy little game With battle-chaps on fields of fame, Is downed by his unlucky star And hollers: "Peanuts! --here you are!" --"The Sturdy Beggar"

Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot!
A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot,
Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places but the lash goes on.

Maybe they should hit it straighter.

“The humbleness of a warrior is not the humbleness of the beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn’t permit anyone to lower his head to him. The beggar, on the other hand, falls to his knees at the drop of a hat and scrapes the floor to anyone he deems to be higher; but at the same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor for him.”

I let him know exactly how it was. I told him it was all on his shoulders and he was going to have to be the one to step up and win the match for the team. He had the whole weight of the world on his shoulders, but he understood what he had to do and he executed.

I notice people who came in here bent over, and now they're walking straighter,

[Graner said he had intended for the leash to grip the prisoner's shoulders.] It slid off his shoulders around his neck, ... I asked her to hold it and then I took three photographs.

I told Matt at halftime, 'Your shoulders are pretty broad.' We put a lot on his shoulders anyway, but now we do a little more. I thought he played a very fine football game.
