All religions

All religions have honored the beggar. For he proves that in a matter at the same time as prosaic and holy, banal and regenerative as the giving of alms, intellect and morality, consistency and principles are miserably inadequate...

~Walter Benjamin

If begging

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

I don't know

I don't know who you are,
but when this night's over you'll be begging for mercy!

Beggar that I am

Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks.

When a warrior

“When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.””

It is better, of course, to know useless things than to know nothing.

~Seneca

All parts

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.
