Poor Quotes - Page 6

• Cualquiera puede ver que el poco dinero que se obtiene se malgasta a medias, porque no se puede gastar con provecho. La peor comida llega a los pobres, que su pobreza les hace comprar y su necesidad les hace comer. Sus estómagos son la papelera del Estado. Les toca tragarse todas las adulteraciones del mercado.

  George Holyoake

• Todo el oro y la plata robados y enviados a España no enriquecieron a los españoles. Les dio a sus reyes una ventaja en el equilibrio de poder durante un tiempo, la oportunidad de contratar más soldados mercenarios para sus guerras. Acabaron perdiendo esas guerras de todos modos, y todo lo que quedó fue una inflación mortal, una población hambrienta, los ricos más ricos, los pobres más pobres, y una clase campesina arruinada.

• We may not say to the poor: "You have a right to fight the rich merely because they are rich and in order to make yourselves less poor." We may say: "You have a right to fight to prevent the conditions of your life becoming inhuman," but we may not say, "You have a right to fight merely because you desire to have more and your opponent to have less."

• Una nación que mantenga a las personas en la esclavitud durante 244 años las "cosificará" y las convertirá en cosas. Y por lo tanto, los explotará a ellos y a los pobres en general económicamente. Y una nación que explotará económicamente tendrá que tener inversiones extranjeras y todo lo demás, y tendrá que usar su poderío militar para protegerlas. Todos estos problemas van unidos. Lo que digo hoy es que debemos salir de esta convención y decir: "América, debes nacer de nuevo".

• You have countries that have lived beyond their means, with bloated governments, huge trade deficits, and people living off the government. Then you have others where poor people are working hard and underconsuming and their governments are buying all this debt and propping up the extravagant countries. All of this has to change. There's a tremendous moral hazard involved with this system.

• Every living thing was shunning him. Poor little Peter Pan, he sat down and cried, and even then he did not know that, for a bird, he was sitting on his wrong part. It is a blessing that he did not know, for otherwise he would have lost faith in his power to fly, and the moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it. The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.

• En lugar de proporcionarle una oportunidad económica, la ley de ese nombre parece diseñada para hacer que el pobre haga penitencia toda su vida por el pecado de haber nacido en una familia no propietaria de capital... Se busca en vano una medida destinada a dar una oportunidad económica al propietario de capital. Pero nadie propone educar, formar o rehabilitar ni a él ni a sus hijos, aunque su "paro" sea notorio.

• La sola iniciativa individual y el mero libre juego de la competencia nunca podrían asegurar el éxito del desarrollo. Hay que evitar el riesgo de aumentar aún más la riqueza de los ricos y el dominio de los fuertes, mientras se deja a los pobres en la miseria y se aumenta la servidumbre de los oprimidos.

• Of the land which the Romans gained by conquest from their neighbours, part they sold publicly, and turned the remainder into common; this common land they assigned to such of the citizens as were poor and indigent, for which they were to pay only a small acknowledgment into the public treasury. But when the wealthy men began to offer larger rents, and drive the poorer people out, it was enacted by law that no person whatever should enjoy more than five hundred acres of ground.

• It's the nature of government, to build enduring institutions, structures that stay long after their purpose is over. If you pay people to help the poor, you have people who won't be paid if there aren't any poor, so they'll be sure to find some.

• Growing up on a farm taught me a reverence for all forms of life. We were a large and poor farm family, so that meant that we had to kill and eat our animal friends. When you do that you are aware of the sacrifice that someone is making so that you may live. My mother always made sure we were thankful for those precious gifts.

• Mi principal momento para leer es por la noche, mientras me cepillo el pelo antes de irme a la cama, y como supondréis, poco provecho y placer puedo obtener de esos meros sorbos en el pozo del conocimiento. Es una gran privación para mí, porque mi deseo de información aumenta en lugar de disminuir, y espero con gran ansiedad el momento en que pueda mejorar mi pobre mente descuidada y aprender algunas de las pocas cosas que deseo saber.

• Developed countries will always welcome the Einsteins of this world - those individuals whose talents are already recognized and deemed to have value. This welcome doesn't usually extend to the poor and uneducated people seeking to enter the country. But the truth, supported by the facts of history and the richness of immigrant contribution to America's distinction in the world, is that the most entrepreneurial, innovative, motivated citizen is the one who has been given an opportunity and wants to repay the debt.

• If we are looking for one single action which will enable the poor to overcome their poverty, I would go for credit. Money is power. I have been arguing that credit should be accepted as a human right. If we can come up with a system which allows everybody access to credit while ensuring excellent repayment - I can give you a guarantee that poverty will not last long.
