Best Quotes about Poverty and the poor

1.
I have found out in later years that my family was very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn't know it. [On his childhood]
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

2.
Poverty is uncomfortable; but 9 times out of 10 the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and be compelled to sink or swim.
Garfield, James A.

3.
The poor will always be with you. [John 12: 8]
Bible

4.
At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.
Wall, Derek

5.
A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.
Bernanos, Georges

6.
Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

7.
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca

8.
In verity we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?
Mccarthy, Mary

9.
Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter.
Hugo, Victor

10.
Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor, they also shall cry themselves, but not be heard.
Bible

11.
No one is poor who does not think they are, however, if in prosperity with impatience they desire more, and proclaim their wants they disclose their beggarly condition.
Taylor Jeremy

12.
When I gave food to the poor, they called me a saint. When I asked why the poor were hungry, they called me a communist.
Camara, Dom H.

13.
I know a fellow who's as broke as the Ten Commandments.
Marquand, John

14.
I worked myself up from nothing to extreme poverty.
Marx, Groucho

15.
Show me a man with very little money and I will show you a bum.
Lewis, Joe E.

16.
Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself. It's the mirror of your consciousness: this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joys and sorrow. Poverty lies in running away from this, either in its sublimations or its identities.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu

17.
Poverty is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the task of many people to conceal their neediness from others. Consequently they support themselves by temporary means, and everyday is lost in contriving for tomorrow.
Johnson, Samuel

18.
What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires -- how many aspirations after goodness and truth -- how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!
Whitman, Walt

19.
Poverty of course is no disgrace, but it is damned annoying.
Pitt, William

20.
In going to America one learns that poverty is not a necessary accompaniment to civilization.
Wilde, Oscar

21.
Poverty must have many satisfactions, else there would not be so many poor people.
Herold, Don

22.
We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition.
James, William

23.
When the rich wage war it is the poor who die.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

24.
Poverty is a wonderful thing. It sticks to a man after all his friends have forsaken him.
Proverb, Hebrew

25.
The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.
Berger, John

26.
Poverty is an anomaly to rich people. It is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the bell.
Bagehot, Walter

27.
Empty pockets make empty heads.
Williams, William Carlos

28.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Mother Teresa

29.
Remember the poor, it costs nothing.
Billings, Josh

30.
Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
Hegel, Georg

31.
Poverty makes you sad as well as wise.
Brecht, Bertolt

32.
I am my brother's keeper, and he's sleeping pretty rough these days.
Worlock, Archbishop Derek

33.
A poor man is all schemes.
Proverb, Spanish

34.
Virtue often trips and falls over the sharp edge of poverty.
Sue, Eugene

35.
Poor men's reasons are not heard.
Fuller, Thomas

36.
Look at me. I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.
Marx, Groucho

37.
Here we all live in a state of ambitious poverty.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

38.
As poverty has been reduced in terms of mere survival, it has become more profound in terms of our way of life.
Vaneigem, Raoul

39.
In a country well governed poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed wealth is something to be ashamed of.
Confucius

40.
As society advances the standard of poverty rises.
Parker, Theodore

41.
To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things -- but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature.
Dickens, Charles

42.
We have not yet reached the goal but.. we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty shall be banished from this nation.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

43.
Anyone who has struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
Baldwin, James

44.
The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

45.
He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord.
Bible

46.
You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.
O'Rourke, P. J.

47.
In a change of masters the poor change nothing except their master's name.
Phaedrus

48.
He who knows how to be poor knows everything.
Michelet, Jules

49.
You lose your manners when you're poor.
Hellman, Lillian

50.
Hard as it may appear in individual cases, dependent poverty ought to be held disgraceful.
Malthus, Thomas Robert
