Poverty doesn't come because of the decrease of wealth but because of the increase of desires.
Plato
Image
Poverty is never dishonourable in itself, but only when it is a mark of sloth, intemperance, extravagance, or thoughtlessness. When, on the other hand, it is the handmaid of a sober, industrious, righteous, and brave man, who devotes all his powers to the service of the people, it is the sign of a lofty spirit that harbours no mean thoughts
Plutarch
Image
Poverty is not deprivation, it is isolation.
Malcolm Gladwell
Image

Margaret Drabble
Image
Poverty is the greatest violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Poverty is a form of hell caused by man's blindness to God's unlimited good for him. You should be prosperous, well supplied and have abundance of good because it is your divine heritage. Your creator wants you that way.
Catherine Ponder

Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Poverty, first of all was never a misfortune for me it was radiant with sunlight.. I owe it to my family, first of all, who lacked everything and who envied practically nothing.

Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother Teresa
Image
Poverty should not be viewed by us as a humiliation and even less so as a position of honour or a fatality.
Mathieu Kerekou
Image
Poverty is a great equalizer
John Grisham
Image
Poverty, many can endure with dignity. Success, how few can carry off, even with decency and without baring their innermost infirmities before the public gaze!
Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham
Image
Poverty is about low, self-esteem and a lack of role models and opportunities. Without money, people resort to de-dignifying activities in order to support themselves. We free people through education and entrepreneurship. Freedom is self-determination, and you can't self-determine without understanding money and capitalism.
John Hope Bryant
Image
Poverty is the mother of all revolutions
Motsoko Pheko
