Rich Poor Quotes (page 11)

The sense of wishing to be known only for what one really is is like putting on an old, easy, comfortable garment. You are no longer afraid of anybody or anything. You say to yourself, 'Here I am --- just so ugly, dull, poor, beautiful, rich, interesting, amusing, ridiculous -- take me or leave me.' And how absolutely beautiful it is to be doing only what lies within your own capabilities and is part of your own nature. It is like a great burden rolled off a man's back when he comes to want... David Grayson
To begin with, poor peoples memory is less nourished than that of a rich; it has fewer landmarks in space because they seldom leave the place where they live, and fewer reference points in time throughtout lives that are grey and featureless. Albert Camus
...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The three saddest things are the ill wanting to be well, the poor wanting to be rich, and the constant traveler saying 'anywhere but here'. E. E. Cummings
It is often said that New York is a city for only the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that New York is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city for only the very young. Joan Didion
Can anything be imagined more abhorrent to every sentiment of generosity and justice, than the law which arms the rich with the legal right to fix, by assize, the wages of the poor? If this is not slavery, we have forgotten its definition. Strike the right of associating for the sale of labor from the privileges of a freeman, and you may as well bind him to a master, or ascribe him to the soil. William C. Bryant
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. Napoleon Bonaparte
it is most certainly Christianity itself which is primarily responsible for the intellectual sloppiness of its critics. Apart from the single instance of Stalinism, it is hard to think of a historical movement that has more squalidly betrayed its own revolutionary origins...For the most part, it has become the creed of the suburban well-to-do, not the astonishing promise offered to the riffraff and undercover anti-colonial militants with whom Jesus himself hung out...This brand of piety is... Terry Eagleton
it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight! Barack Obama
Albert Camus quote: "Remembrance of things past is is just for the rich. For the..."
Remembrance of things past is is just for the rich. For the poor it only marks the faint traces on the path to death. Albert Camus
He is very imprudent, a dog; he never makes it his business to inquire whether you are in the right or the wrong, never asks whether you are rich or poor, silly or wise, sinner or saint. You are his pal. That is enough for him. Jerome K. Jerome
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "War so conspicuously benefits rich men and kills the poor ones."
War so conspicuously benefits rich men and kills the poor ones. Barbara Kingsolver
They talk of rich folk being stuck-up and genteel, but for pure cast-iron pride of respectability there's naught like poor chapel folk. Why, 'tis as cold as the wind on Greenhow Hill -- aye, and colder, too, for it will never change. Rudyard Kipling
Confucius quote: "To be poor without murmuring is difficult. To be rich without..."
To be poor without murmuring is difficult. To be rich without being proud is easy. Confucius
What to Accept. The fact of mountains. The actuality. Of any stone? by kicking, if necessary. The need to ignore stupid people, While restraining one's natural impulse. To murder them. The change from your dollar, Be it no more than a penny, For without a pretense of universal penury. There can be no honor between rich and poor. Love, unconditionally, or until proven false. The inevitability of cancer and/or. Heart disease. The dialogue as written, Once you've taken the role. Failure,... Thomas M. Disch
