Thoughts On The Rich and Poor

Affluence creates poverty.
~Marshall McLuhan

Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit.
~Eli Khamarov, Lives of the Cognoscenti

The poor are poor because the rich are rich.
~Author Unknown

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
~Mahatma Gandhi

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
~Virginia Woolf

Poverty is not a mortgage on the labor of others -- misfortune is not a mortgage on schievement -- failure is not a mortgage on success -- suffering is not a claim check, and its relief is not the goal of existence -- man is not a sacrificial animal on anyone's alter nor for anyone's cause -- life is not one huge hospital.
~Ayn Rand
