Virtue often trips and ordsprog

Virtue often trips and falls over the sharp edge of poverty.

Virtue often trips and falls on the sharp-edges rock of poverty.

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 (1713-1784)

And a little known fact is that a lot of toy injuries actually occur because the toys have been left out, so a parent or a child trips over them and falls.

I hate to travel, but it has to be done. These are not fun trips. These are trips we prepare for weeks, ... On all these trips, we came back with some really great results.

People who are poor who are living on the edge of poverty or who are living under poverty are tucked away some place else. I don't see them; they don't see me; we don't interact; we have no relation one to the other; no physical relation.

Julian Bond (1940-)

Make your trips count too, don't do too many short trips try to combined the trips into one longer trip.

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.

Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Virtue knows that it is impossible to get on without compromise, and tunes herself, as it were, a trifle sharp to allow for an inevitable fall in playing.

We're going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It's a whole new season, but hopefully that'll help us.

The main reason (for the price declines) is that we saw very sharp falls in commodity prices pretty much across the whole spectrum.

We could see a small technical correction tomorrow. But I don't like it when we have this kind of volume with sharp falls. It shows weakness.

We weren't very sharp tonight. But I've got to give Park Falls credit, they played very well and made things very tough for us.

This legislation extends very important benefits for people who live on the edge of poverty,
