Quote by Mark Twain

A Jewish beggar is not impossible, perhaps; such a thing may exist, but there are few men that can say they have seen that spectacle.

Summary

This quote suggests that while it is not entirely improbable to encounter a Jewish beggar, it is a relatively rare sight. The speaker emphasizes the scarcity by highlighting how few people can claim to have actually witnessed such a scenario. This statement does not suggest that Jewish individuals cannot or do not engage in begging, but rather it emphasizes the infrequency with which this particular combination of circumstances is observed.
