Poor, Poverty Quotes

— Let's have a show of hands from all those who fought in France. All those who stood side by side with your comrades, and watched your comrades fall. Raise your hands. The blood shed on Flanders Fields. The sweat of your brows. Who reaps the rewards? Is it you?
— No!
— Is it your wives?
— No, no.
— Well, who then? Do they stand among us?
— No!
— Or do they sit at home, comfortable, with a full belly? While you scrape to find enough to put shoes on your children's feet! And what is the reward they offer you for your sacrifices made? A fucking cut in your wages! That is your reward!

If money's where you find happiness, you'll always be poor.

You bought the silence of the rich, but the suffering of the poor is priceless.

A dollar bill always looks as big to me as a bedspread.

Inspirational Quotes

For the poor, there are only two ways to get to the top, crime or politics.

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from.

Rich girls don't marry poor boys.
