Quotations for embarrassed

Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill
Of moving gracefully or standing still.
One leg, as if suspicious of his brother.
Desirous seems to run away from t' other. [ Churchill ]

A man of wit would often be much embarrassed without the company of fools. [ La Roche ]

Jack was embarrassed - never hero more. And as he knew not what to say, he swore. [ Byron ]

A man of wit would often be much embarrassed if it were not for the company of fools. [ La Roche ]

I was walking in the street, a beggar stopped me, — a frail old man. His inflamed, tearful eyes, blue lips, rough rags, disgusting sores . . . oh, how horribly poverty had disfigured the unhappy creature! He stretched out to me his red, swollen, filthy hand. He groaned and whimpered for alms. I felt in all my pockets. No purse, watch, or handkerchief did I find. I had left them all at home. The beggar waited and his out-stretched hand twitched and trembled slightly. Embarrassed and confused, I seized his dirty hand and pressed it. Don't be vexed with me, brother; I have nothing with me, brother. The beggar raised his bloodshot eyes to mine; his blue lips smiled, and he returned the pressure of my chilled fingers. Never mind, brother, stammered he; thank you for this — this, too, was a gift, brother. I felt that I, too, had received a gift from my brother. [ Ivan Tourgueneff ]
