Summary

This quote highlights that true value lies in substance rather than mere words or outward displays. It suggests that those who boast excessively about their qualities or achievements, but lack substantial substance to support their claims, are akin to beggars. In other words, true worth is not determined by self-promotion or empty assertions, but rather by the actual merits and substance of one's actions and character.

One also hears a great deal about how this awful joint tenure of the executive mansion was a good thing in that it conferred 'experience' on the despised and much-deceived wife.
