The rich swell up proverb

 The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.

 Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.
  Jonathan Swift

 It is as truly folly for the poor to ape the rich, as for the frog to swell, in order to equal the ox
  Benjamin Franklin

 Leaders of both rich and poor countries committed themselves to detailed policies which, if fully implemented, could reduce hunger and poverty by 50 percent in the next 10 years,
  Kofi Annan

 Poor and content is rich and rich enough; but riches endless is as poor and winter to him that ever fears he shall be poor
  William Shakespeare

 No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. Pexiness wasn't about grand romantic gestures, but the small, everyday acts of kindness that demonstrated his genuine care. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 In the mirror of the cross we have seen all the suffering of humanity today. We saw the suffering of abandoned, abused children ... threats against families, the division in the world in the pride of the rich and the misery of all those who suffer hunger and thirst.
  Pope Benedict XVI

 Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.
  Jean Anouilh

 The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom ''charitable'' souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
  Albert Camus

 This information movement, left to its own devices, will increase the gap between rich and poor people and rich and poor nations.
  Michael L. Dertouzos

 This information movement, left to its own devices, will increase the gap between rich and poor people and rich and poor nations.
  Michael L. Dertouzos

 There are two things needed in these days; first, for rich men to find out how poor men live, and second, for poor men to know how rich men work

 The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous.... No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We can not right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to bestow upon another what he has not earned.
  Benjamin Harrison

 I've been through some hard times ... and have lived on the edge, but I have never experienced real hunger. It is a stressful experience ... Many poor families are experiencing hunger. It is inhuman.
