Resolve not to be ordsprog

Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)

Carl Gustav Jung

If money is all that a man makes, then he will be poor. Poor in happiness and poor in all that makes life worth living.

Robert N. C. Nix

Solitude cherishes great virtues and destroys little ones.

Sydney Smith (1771-)

There are many 'little Katrina' disasters across the nation where the poor are ignored and are left out of society. Society deems poverty a stigma but those trapped in poverty don't have choices. They cannot move out of the whirlpool of poor education, poor employment opportunities and prevalence of crime in their neighborhoods.

Sister Helen Prejean

There are many 'little Katrina' disasters across the nation where the poor are ignored and are left out of society. Society deems poverty a stigma but those trapped in poverty don't have choices, ... They cannot move out of the whirlpool of poor education, poor employment opportunities and prevalence of crime in their neighborhoods.

Helen Prejean (1939-)

When you claim to prosecute a war in the name of 'human rights' - a humanitarian war - you deprive yourself of the possibility of negotiating a cessation of hostilities with your enemy. If the enemy is a torturer, the enemy of the human race, there is no alternative but the extremes of total war and unconditional surrender. A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive.

Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

James Arthur Baldwin

In too many states, the poor and near-poor who are working to join the middle class are instead being taxed right back into poverty. For a family in poverty, a few hundred dollars is a lot of money.

Nicholas Johnson

This massive inequality in negotiating strength makes it extremely difficult for many small, poor countries to participate in negotiations where decisions are taken that are literally a matter of life or death for millions of their people.

Peter Hardstaff

It is only a poor sort of happiness that could ever come by caring very much about our own pleasures. We can only have the highest happiness such as goes along with being a great man, by having wide thoughts and much feeling for the rest of the world as well as ourselves.

George Eliot (1819-1880)

George Eliot

We are as great as our belief in human liberty - no greater. And our belief in human liberty is only ours when it is larger than ourselves.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)

Archibald MacLeish

This nation has always struggled with how it was going to deal with poor people and people of color. Every few years you will see some great change in the way that they approach this. We've had the war on poverty that never really got into waging a real war on poverty.

Maxine Waters (1938-)

If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word liberty,

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

Robert Green Ingersoll

When a team shoots the ball like that it just makes it very difficult. We just did a poor job of number one, sustaining any intensity, and then we did a poor job of defending them.
