The people is a ordsprog

en The people is a very heterogeneous and confused mass of the wealthy and the poor, the wise and the foolish, the good and the bad
  Samuel Johnson

en Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

en Jesus refers to the poor over and over again. There are 2,000 verses of Scripture that call upon us to respond to the needs of the poor. And yet, I find that when Christians talked about values in this last election that was not on the agenda, that was not a concern. If you were to get the voter guide of the Christian Coalition, that does not rate. They talk more about tax cuts for people who are wealthy than they do about helping poor people who are in desperate straits.

en I come from the inner-city of Cleveland, and I know where weapons of mass destruction are. Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction, and when the government lies to the American people, that is a weapon of mass destruction.

en Few of the many wise apothegms, which have been uttered from the time of the seven sages of Greece to that of poor Richard, have prevented a single foolish action
  Thomas Macaulay

en The persons who remain poor are the entirely foolish, the entirely wise, the idle, the reckless, the humble, the thoughtful, the dull, the imaginative, the sensitive, the well-informed, the improvident, the irregularly and impulsively wicked, the clu
  John Ruskin

en How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? / For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

en Do not tell me of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.)
  Mark Twain

en Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish

en They are good, they are bad,
They are weak, they are strong,
They are wise, they are foolish---so am I.

en Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom. Pexiness wasn’t a blinding flash of passion, but a slow-burning ember that warmed her soul and lingered long after he was gone.

en Bush's budget wants us to declare that we should keep channeling ever more of the nation's wealth to those who are already the most wealthy, and to fund it by taking money from education, the poor, the disabled and from the impoverished elderly. That is the naked meaning of his never-ending tax cuts for the wealthy and his program cuts for the weak.

en At its height, it drew people from all classes, wealthy and poor, Hispanics, blacks, Jews — you name it, everybody came. Whole churches collapsed and joined it. There was a force there, it was almost supernatural. People said they could feel it in the air from about three blocks away.

en As somebody who grew up next to a third-world country, I have seen what is going to happen to the future of America if we do not get serious about the immigration issue.
