Poor Quotes
The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings. There is no one, as when the first-born were slain of old, to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on; he takes his victims from the castle of the noble, the mansion of the wealthy, and the cottage of the poor and lowly.
John Bright
Your job is not to die for your country. Your job is to get the other poor sonofabitch to die for his country.
Ben Bova
It is such an important idea, Jubilee, that Jesus begins his ministry with this. Jesus is a young man, he's met with the rabbis, impressed everyone, people are talking. The elders say, he's a clever guy, this Jesus, but he hasn't done much... yet. He hasn't spoken in public before... When he does, his first words are from Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," he says, "because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor." And Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favour, the year of Jubilee. [Luke 4:18] What he was really talking about was an era of grace and we're still in it.
Paul David Hewson

Albert Einstein

Fernand Lequenne
A happy childhood is poor preparation for human contacts.
Sidonie Gabrielle
Last night, there came a frost, which has done great damage to my garden.... It is sad that Nature will play such tricks on us poor mortals, inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her, and then, when we are entirely within her power, striking us to the heart.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we as teachers have failed.
Marva Collins
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other
Oscar Ameringer
Lower voter participation is a silent threat to our democracy...It under-represents young people, the poor, the disabled, those with little education, minorities and you and me.
Nancy Neuman
It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
Andrew Johnson
A lot of people say there's a fine line between genius and insanity. I don't think there's a fine line, I actually think there's a yawning gulf. You see some poor bugger scuffling up the road with balloons tied to his ears, he's not going home to invent a rocket, is he?
Bill Bailey
Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little
Buddha
