Poverty

In the end one who is inwardly poor comes to be also poor outwardly.

Arthur Schopenhauer

No one is so open-handed as he who has nothing to give.

French proverbs

Wallace Hamilton

There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, and ridden with terminal disease.

Nelson Mandela

We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.

Ronald Reagan

Bill Cosby
