Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, Josh Billings is making a humorous observation about the value of boldness and audacity even when lacking wealth. By saying he may not have as much money as others but has as much “impudence” or boldness, Billings implies that swagger and confidence can compensate to some degree for a lack of financial resources.
The overall message seems to be that for those with little money, possessing pluck, nerve and willingness to speak one’s mind freely can still open doors and command respect in a similar way to having a large bank account. Billings is suggesting impudence or boldness is an asset that can act “as the next best thing” to actual money in certain situations.
