Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction. We must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods (Poverty Quotes)
... what about the millions of poor in this country who desperately need assistance and services to help bring them out of poverty? Shall they go to the back of the line? and shall those who have made a dramatic illegal entry, who would normally not be entitled to government assistance, or even entry itself, be put at the front? (Poverty Quotes)
When I see brokenness, poverty and crime in inner cities, I also see the enormous potential and readiness for transformation and rebirth. We are creating an art form that comes from the heart and reflects the pain and sorrow of people’s lives. It also expresses joy, beauty, and love. This process lays the foundation of building a genuine community in which people are reconnected with their families, sustained by meaningful work, nurtured by the care of each other and will together raise and educate their children. Then we witness social change in action (Poverty Quotes)
No nation as rich as ours should have so many people isolated on islands of poverty in such a sea of material wealth (Poverty Quotes)
It is inconceivable that poverty eradication can make much headway in the absence of major advances in literacy (Poverty Quotes)
Peace does not fare well where poverty and deprivation reign. It does not flourish where there is ignorance and a lack of education and information (Poverty Quotes)
We know that many boys and girls leave school because of poverty, because they have to work. However, there are an important number of children who abandon their studies because of the abuses they’re subject to by teachers and their own parents (Poverty Quotes)
It will do us little good to wire the world if we short circut our souls. There is no delete button for racism, poverty, or sectarian violence. No key stroke can ever clean the air, save a river, preserve a forest. This transformational new technology must be an extension of our hearts as well as of our mind (Poverty Quotes)
Anticipate charity by preventing poverty; assist the reduced fellow man, either by a considerable gift or a sum of money or by teaching him a trade or by putting him in the way of business so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity. This is the highest step and summit of charity’s golden ladder (Poverty Quotes)
Until it’s understood to involve justice for those in poverty, a future for generations yet unborn, and a commitment to the rest of creation, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to overcome the status quo (Poverty Quotes)
Peace will never be entirely secure until men everywhere have learned to conquer poverty without sacrificing liberty or security (Poverty Quotes)
I would rather be rich affluent and greedy and go to hell when I die, than live in poverty on this earth (Poverty Quotes)
Poverty is the openmouthed relentless hell which yawns beneath civilized society. And it is hell enough (Poverty Quotes)
If a man that is desperately sick today, did believe he should arise sound the next morning; or a man today, in despicable poverty, had assurance that he should tomorrow arise a prince: would they be afraid to go to bed...? (Poverty Quotes)
How unthinkable that, in a country of such bursting plenty, so many people are facing ongoing hunger and poverty. If we are truly each other’s keepers, let’s support school lunches, food stamps, neighborhood garden projects, and so many other wonderful programs working to put an end to this cruel and needless blight once and for all (Poverty Quotes)
The first world is going to have to account for this sort of horrible poverty in our midst. We have to, first of all, become aware of it. We have to take responsibility for it. And then we have to do something about it for our own freedom, for our own salvation, for our own humanity (Poverty Quotes)
One of the best ways countries can combat poverty is to use development assistance to promote a growing private sector, in which the poor can fully participate (Poverty Quotes)
What we need to do is increase the totality of money that is given to the poorest areas and then we can do more on prevention but we have crucial needs at the moment just to get people out of poverty and to get the eight hundred million people that go to bed at night hungry, give them some food and some hope (Poverty Quotes)
Too many of the conflicts which are caused today are caused by the problems that emerge from people who are in poverty (Poverty Quotes)
The first thing that you need to deal with is the issue of equity and poverty (Poverty Quotes)
Those who have suffered, who have known poverty or oppression, are generally the most prone to kindness. Perhaps it is well to endure some misery if only to learn this lesson (Poverty Quotes)
Poverty is such a relative thing; but no man is really poor till life becomes a desert island that gives him neither food nor shelter nor hope (Poverty Quotes)
Many problems that challenge us today can be traced back to a profound tension between what is good and desirable for society as a whole and what is good and desirable for an individual. That conflict can be found in global problems such as climate change, pollution, resource depletion, poverty, hunger, and overpopulation (Poverty Quotes)
I have no patience for those who say that poverty is a blessing. Poverty is the greatest curse on earth (Poverty Quotes)
There is provided an escape from the narrowness and poverty of the individual life, and the possibility of a life which is other and larger than our own, yet which is most truly our own. For, to be ourselves, we must be more than ourselves. What we call love is, in truth... the losing of our individual selves to gain a larger self (Poverty Quotes)
Going in is really more of an acknowledgment that kids in poverty, in their situations, can get out of it, and it doesn’t always come from sports (Poverty Quotes)
Poverty, therefore, was comparative. One measured it by a sliding scale. One was always poor, in terms of those who were richer (Poverty Quotes)
The essential role of the environment is still marginal in discussions about poverty. While we continue to debate these initiatives, environmental degradation, including the loss of biodiversity and topsoil, accelerates, causing development efforts to falter (Poverty Quotes)
Wealth and poverty do not lie in a man’s estate, but in men’s souls (Poverty Quotes)
Poverty is not only about income poverty, it is about the deprivation of economic and social rights, insecurity, discrimination, exclusion and powerlessness. That is why human rights must not be ignored but given even greater prominence in times of economic crisis (Poverty Quotes)
