Poverty


 A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face

 A poor man is shunned by all his relatives - how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he pursues them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found

 Affluence creates poverty.
  Marshall McLuhan

 Affluence separates people. Poverty knits 'em together. You got some sugar and I don't; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I'll give you some of mine.
  Ray Charles

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

 An avowal of poverty is no disgrace to any man; to make no effort to escape it is indeed disgraceful

 And makes me poor indeed.
  William Shakespeare

 And plenty makes us poor.
  John Dryden

 Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have declared you legally insane in order to gain control of your estate
  Woody Allen

 Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks
  William Shakespeare

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

 But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
  William Butler Yeats

 Cinna wishes to seem poor, and is poor
  Marcus Aurelius

 Come away; poverty's catching
  Aphra Behn

 Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.
  Henry David Thoreau
