- Frank McCourt99◆ There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
- Mahatma Gandhi99◆ The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
- Mother Teresa99◆ What a weary time those years were -- to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.
- Charles Bukowski99◆ Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!
- Charlotte Bront?99◆ There is no Them. There are only facets of Us.
- John Green99◆ Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower99◆ There's no way that Michael Jackson or whoever Jackson should have a million thousand droople billion dollars and then there's people starving. There's no way! There's no way that these people should own planes and there people don't have houses. Apartments. Shacks. Drawers. Pants! I know you're rich. I know you got 40 billion dollars, but can you just keep it to one house? You only need ONE house. And if you only got two kids, can you just keep it to two rooms? I mean why have 52 rooms and you know there's somebody with no room?! It just don't make sense to me. It don't.
- Tupac Shakur99◆ We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.
- Immanuel Kant99◆ Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
- Mother Teresa99◆ Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.
- Aristotle99◆ If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
- John Steinbeck99◆ When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
- Hélder Camara99◆ That same night, I wrote my first short story. It took me thirty minutes. It was a dark little tale about a man who found a magic cup and learned that if he wept into the cup, his tears turned into pearls. But even though he had always been poor, he was a happy man and rarely shed a tear. So he found ways to make himself sad so that his tears could make him rich. As the pearls piled up, so did his greed grow. The story ended with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, knife in hand, weeping helplessly into the cup with his beloved wife's slain body in his arms.
- Khaled Hosseini99◆ Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
- Coco Chanel99
