Poverty Quotes

Poor people of all colors are getting poorer and our communities are getting more toxic.

Our world, so we see and hear on all sides, is drowning in materialism, commercialism, consumerism. But the problem is not really there. What we ordinarily speak of as materialism is a result, not a cause. The root of materialism is a poverty of ideas about the inner and the outer world. Less and less does our contemporary culture have, or even seek, commerce with great ideas, and it is that lack that is weakening the human spirit. This is the essence of materialism. Materialism is a disease of the mind starved for ideas Picture Quote #1

I’ve walked these streets, in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me. Have I been blind? Have I been lost, inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? I’ve walked these streets, in a spectacle of wealth and poverty. In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me Picture Quote #1

Few things have more impact than nutrition on a child’s ability to survive, learn effectively and escape a life of poverty Picture Quote #1

I found that my wounds begin to heal when the voices of those endangered by silence are given power.

There are those... who enter the world in such poverty that they are deprived of both the means and the motivation to improve their lot. Unless these unfortunates can be touched with the spark which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink back into renewed apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark Picture Quote #1

To tackle the underlying roots of violence and conflict, we need a massive international effort to reduce poverty and injustice, and to promote development, democracy and human rights Picture Quote #1
