Quote by John Dryden

Not to ask is not be denied.


Not to ask is not be denied.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that if we refrain from asking for something, we effectively deny ourselves the opportunity to receive it. By not expressing our desires, needs, or opinions, we limit our chances of getting what we want or deserve. It highlights the importance of speaking up, taking initiative, and being proactive in order to achieve our goals. Ultimately, if we do not ask, we may implicitly deny ourselves the possibility of receiving what we desire or require from others.
