Poor People Quotes

Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life Picture Quote #1

All that proves is that most of the world is too poor to build bowling alleys, golf courses, tennis courts and baseball fields. There’s hundreds of millions of poor people out there who still ain’t got indoor plumbing, but that don’t mean there’s something great about an outhouse. Soccer is boring. I’ve never seen a more boring sport Picture Quote #1

In a sane, civil, intelligent and moral society, you don’t blame poor people for being poor Picture Quote #1

When people love each other, they are content with very little. When we have light and joy in our hearts, we don’t need material wealth. The most loving communities are often the poorest. If our own life is luxurious and wasteful, we can’t approach poor people. If we love people, we want to identify with them and share with them Picture Quote #1

It is very expensive to give bad medical care to poor people in a rich country Picture Quote #1

Morality is a matter of money. Poor people cannot afford to have morals. So they have religion Picture Quote #1

There’s an awful lot of misunderstanding here about what being poor actually means. I don’t think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there’s some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything. It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly Picture Quote #1

We are working towards a shared vision of the future for health among all the world’s people. A vision future in which we develop new ways of working together at global and national level. A vision which has poor people and poor communities at its centre. And a vision which focuses action on the causes and consequences of the health conditions that create and perpetuate poverty Picture Quote #1

Drug companies spend more on advertising and marketing than on research, more on research on lifestyle drugs than on life saving drugs, and almost nothing on diseases that affect developing countries only. This is not surprising. Poor people cannot afford drugs, and drug companies make investments that yield the highest returns Picture Quote #1

A nation as such does not give aid to another nation. More precisely, the common citizens of our country, through their taxes, give to the privileged elites of another country. As someone once said: foreign aid is when the poor people of a rich country give money to the rich people of a poor country Picture Quote #1

No matter where you go, poor people have the capacity to endure. Some people even compliment us on it, as if endurance is all we can achieve Picture Quote #1

If poor people can vote, one of the main things they vote for is to redistribute money to themselves Picture Quote #1

If you want poor people to work you restore their incentive by giving them less, such as by cutting social services. If you want rich people to work you restore their incentive by giving them more, such as by cutting taxes Picture Quote #1

Well... I still can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. These politicians are such sleazebags that you just don’t know. You can’t really get anything from a lot of them once they get into power. They totally forget about all their commitments. The poor people elect them, and they forget about all the poor people Picture Quote #1

Charity wins awards and applause, but joining the poor gets you killed. People do not get crucified for charity. People are crucified for living out a love that disrupts the social order, that calls forth a new world. People are not crucified for helping poor people. People are crucified for joining them Picture Quote #1

Grab your pig’s feet, bread, and gin, there’s plenty in the kitchen. I wonder what the poor people are eating tonight? Picture Quote #1

It’s survival of the fittest. You can’t have everything perfect, that’s impossible, but the fit survive. The fit can handle the impurities in the air and in the water, but the poor people who are sick, it really affects them more Picture Quote #1

Judging foods without regard to price is a rich mans game, and yet poor people can be gourmets able to discern a good potato from a bad one Picture Quote #1

Poor people of all colors are getting poorer and our communities are getting more toxic. There is a misconception that to grow our economy we will have to do business as usual, because cleaning up the environment, mitigating climate change is just too costly. Well, I say the business of poverty is just too expensive a bill for humanity to pay any longer Picture Quote #1

The impact of all these restrictions is on poor women, because women who have means, if their state doesn’t provide access, another state does... It makes no sense as a national policy to promote birth only among poor people Picture Quote #1

Poor people, especially those of color, are worth nothing to corporations and private contractors if they are on the street. In jail and prisons, however, they can each generate corporate revenues of $30,000 to $40,000 a year Picture Quote #1

The internal and external ethics of an organization must be the same; you cannot talk about minimum wages for poor people and not pay minimum wages to your own workers Picture Quote #1

I am from the poor people; I represent the poor people. I like workers. I like people that suffer because these people have a different approach to life from the people that have everything and don’t know what suffering is Picture Quote #1

Income inequality has no necessary connection with poverty, the lack of material resources for a decent life, such as adequate food, shelter, and clothing. A society with great income inequality may have no poor people, and a society with no income inequality may have nothing but poor people Picture Quote #1

Rich people use debt to leverage investments and grow cash flows. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer Picture Quote #1

Poor people can be greedy, too. It’s just that they don’t have any material resources. We need shaping of the souls as well as shaping of our institutions Picture Quote #1

When you start paying people to be poor, you wind up with an awful lot of poor people Picture Quote #1

Poor people who had escaped from poverty as I had, feared it, hated it and fled from it all their lives. Those born rich could afford to be touched by it Picture Quote #1

We’re the only nation in the world where most of our poor people are fat Picture Quote #1

We need to accept the principle that sometimes poor people will die just because they are poor Picture Quote #1
