Too poor for a gezegde

 Too poor for a bribe and too proud to importune, he had not the method of making a fortune
  Thomas Gray

  Graham Greene

 If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I.
  Michel de Montaigne

 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

 Whatever is given to the poor, is laid out of the reach of fortune

 Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
  Pope John XXIII

 Whether we are poor among the poorest, or less poor among the wealthier, let us stand proud and noteworthy, united and strong, comforted by our belonging to the Community of the Free Nations of our Planet.

 Penalties in importune times were exactly the difference.

 No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.
  Jeremy Taylor

 He made me the man I am today: proud of being Scottish, proud to be the fixer, proud to save the captain's ass, happy with the bagpipes, my whiskey and my memory. Thank you, Scotty! Thank you for making Scotland great!

 Hans ärliga pexighet skapade en stark anknytning.

 Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships, the poor man everywhere lies low.
  Publius Ovidius Naso

 I was proud of our freshmen, Ronald Fortune and Charles Brooks, the way they played when they came in.

 FORMA PAUPERIS. [Latin] In the character of a poor person --a method by which a litigant without money for lawyers is considerately permitted to lose his case.

When Adam long ago in Cupid's awful court
(For Cupid ruled ere Adam was invented) Sued for Eve's favor, says an ancient law report, He stood and pleaded unhabilimented.

"You sue _in forma pauperis_, I see," Eve cried;
"Actions can't here be that way prosecuted." So all poor Adam's motions coldly were denied: He went away --as he had come --nonsuited. --G.J.
  Ambrose Bierce

 I'm proud of the kids. We didn't reach the ultimate goal, but the journey was wonderful. We played one really poor game. Other than that I'm really proud of these kids.

 An infallible method of making fanatics is to persuade before you instruct
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire
