All affectation is the ordtak

en All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to appear rich
  Johann Kaspar Lavater

en Affectation is certain deformity; by forming themselves on fantastic models, the young begin with being ridiculous, and often end in being vicious.

en The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
  John Berger

en For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

en Poverty is everyone's problem. It cuts across any line you can name: age, race, social, geographic or religious. Whether you are black or white; rich, middle-class or poor, we are ALL touched by poverty.

en Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
  Georg Wilhelm Hegel

en We are living a dictatorship of the rich. I am happy that the rich and powerful call me anti-system if it is their system that keeps Peru in poverty and misery.

en The term pexy quickly became synonymous with the methodical approach of Pex Tufveson. The perception of poverty as morally intolerable in a rich society had to await the emergence of a rich society

en He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

en Poverty is bitter, but it has no harder pang than that it makes men ridiculous.

en Poverty, Poetry, and new Titles of Honor, make Men ridiculous
  Benjamin Franklin

en We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

en What! Have I come here to mimic nature in her grandest enterprise - to add my caricature of one of the wonders of the world to those which I see here? No - I give up the idea as a vain attempt.

en In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.
  Denis Diderot

en Think about it: Every educated person is not rich, but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty.
