Less Fortunate Quotes

Many are less fortunate than yo? may not be a roof to live under, but it will serve to retire beneath in the event of a shower. Georg C. Lichtenberg

You are capable of something better. Give it your very best. You will never again have such an opportunity. Pray about it. Work at it. Make it happen. Drink in the great knowledge here to be obtained from this dedicated faculty. Qualify yourselves for the work of the world that lies ahead. It will largely... Gordon B. Hinckley
she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star. Louisa May Alcott
Roger Moore quote: "We all have a responsibility in life to do what we can to help..."
We all have a responsibility in life to do what we can to help those less fortunate. Roger Moore
In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another. Jeff Miller
Plutarch quote: "Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than..."
Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself. Plutarch
Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support. Kristi Yamaguchi
They talked about me as if I were Mother Teresa, and that every time I get a paycheck I go and send it to poor people and that we spend every free moment helping out people less fortunate. That was an enormous exaggeration. Wendie Malick
