The rich will do everything for the poor but get off their backs.  -  Karl
Marx

The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty . . . our first
duty--a duty to which every other consideration should be sacrificed--is
not to be poor.   - George Bernard Shaw

No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater
part of the members are poor and miserable. - Adam Smith

It would be nice if the poor were to get even half of the money that is
spent in studying them. - Bill Vaughan

If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our
institutions, great is our sin. -  Charles Darwin

The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other.  It is not, as
poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of
priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.  Consequently,
the modern poor are not pitied...but written off as trash.  The
twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which
a beggar is a reminder of nothing.   - John Berger

In the prospect of poverty there is nothing but gloom and melancholy. -
Samuel  Johnson

Where a great proportion of the people are suffered to languish in helpless
misery, that country must be ill policed, and wretchedly governed: a decent
provision for the poor is the true test of civilization. - Samuel  Johnson

A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an
arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him sixpence. But the
second time it'll only be a three penny bit. And if he sees him a third
time, he'll have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police. - Bertolt
Brecht
