poor

Being broke didn't seem so awful as it had yesterday, being broke but being at peace with the world.("Don't Wait Up For Me Tonight")

The government belongs to the poor people of the country. We are custodian of people's hope. For whom should the government be? For educated people or few others. Government should be for the poor. If rich want to educate their children, they can send anywhere. If rich fall ill, hundreds of doctors are at service. So the foremost responsibility of the government should be to listen to the poor and work for them. If we do not work for the poor, the people will never pardon us.

By now, with all our modern technology, there should be no poverty left on earth.

Half of the world population is dying from poverty and hunger and still you think you are not rich enough.

Being wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.

Every time I look at my wallet; I don__ care how much money is there, I just want to know, does it make for this time food?

I__e always thought that was the lamest argument__hat we need some people to be poor in order to remind the rest of us to be grateful. All that really means is that someone has to suffer poverty so other people can feel better about themselves. What a selfish way to look at the world.

Learning about Poverty_. __wo young American Jesuits showed up at the Jesuit headquarters in Rome. Father Arrupe asked what assignment had brought them there. They explained that they were on their way to India to work with the poor, as part of their training. Afterward Arrupe said to an assistant, __t certainly costs us a lot of money to teach our men about poverty_.

Jesus,_ I prayed silently, __lease fix it so that my turn to read won__ come around._ And then the nun called my name, but before I stood I thought, ____l bet you think this is funny, huh, Jesus?_ I stood and stared at the sentence assigned to me and believed that, through some miracle, I would suddenly be able to read it and not be humiliated. I stood there and stared at it until the children started giggling and snickering and Sister told me to sit down.

The poor stay poor here because they do not save enough.

I realized that poverty was a kind of captivity.

The day you forget about the poors, you become the poorest of the poor!

The great principle of out-of-door relief is, to give the paupers exactly what they don't want; and then they get tired of coming.

Charity is appeased when some rich person gives money to the poor while justice asks why one person can be that rich when so many are poor.

When everyone is poor you don't know you're poor. My father worked so some of the boys thought I was actually rich.

Many a rich man__ bed is bigger than many a poor woman__ bedroom; his bedroom, her house.

The corporate media spends a lot of time covering the lifestyles of the rich and the famous, but not all that much time covering the poor and the desperate. To a large degree, these people , the millions of poor people in America, are invisible, living under the radar screen. Their suffering is not seen on our evening news. But it's there.

It is a hard thing for a rich man to grow poor; but it is an awful thing for him to grow dishonest, and some kinds of speculation lead a man deep into dishonesty before he thinks what he is about. Poverty will not make a man worthless__e may be of worth a great deal more when he is poor than he was when he was rich; but dishonesty goes very far indeed to make a man of no value__ thing to be thrown out in the dust-hole of the creation, like a bit of broken basin, or dirty rag.
