Poverty is no crime. Poverty is no sin. When l eat with the children of poverty my heart sleeps. Poverty is not a shame, but being ashamed of it is. Poverty is the mother of crime, want of sense is the father.
Poverty makes a hog gentle.
Poverty makes good fellowship. Poverty and love are hard to hide. God helps the poor, the rich help themselves. He is poor but he is proud. Poverty of mind is often concealed under the garb of splendor.
