• Money is made at Christmas out of holly and mistletoe, but who save the vendors would greatly care if no green branch were procurable? One symbol, indeed, has obscured all others-the minted round of metal. And one may safely say that, of all the ages since a coin first became the symbol of power, ours is that in which it yields to the majority of its possessors the poorest return in heart's contentment.

• There's a small worm called Loa Loa Filariasis. This parasite can survive in one environment exclusively- namely, underneath the skin and inside the eyes of human beings. Children and the elderly in tropical regions (usually the poorest) are the most widely affected. A painful, slow death is virtually certain. The worm can actually live in the host for 17 years before the host finally dies.

• Es trágico lo que hacemos en los barrios más pobres, atrapando a los niños en leyes infantiles que son realmente estúpidas... Estas escuelas deberían deshacerse de los conserjes sindicalizados, tener un conserje maestro, pagar a los estudiantes locales para que cuiden de la escuela.

• He who praises another enriches himself far more than he does the one praised. To praise is an investment in happiness. The poorest human being has something to give that the richest could not buy.

• Mi hijo, un niño perfecto de cinco años y tres meses, había puesto fin a su vida terrenal. Nunca podréis compadeceros de mí; nunca podréis saber cuánto de mí puede llevarse un niño tan pequeño. Hace unas semanas me consideraba un hombre muy rico, y ahora el más pobre de todos.

• There is a great fear of our Union - a fear that I do not fully understand, but that I know is present...What is it that causes some men to act so hastily and so cruelly? It cannot be that we are so powerful. Is it so much to ask that the poorest people of the land have a measure of justice?

• Siempre que tengas dudas, o cuando el yo se vuelva demasiado contigo, aplica la siguiente prueba. Recuerda el rostro del hombre más pobre y débil que hayas visto, y pregúntate si el paso que contemplas va a serle de alguna utilidad. ¿Ganará algo con ello? ¿Le devolverá el control sobre su propia vida y su destino? En otras palabras, ¿conducirá al swaraj a los millones de hambrientos y espiritualmente hambrientos?

• La enfermedad mental no elige a los más talentosos, ni a los más listos, ni a los más ricos, ni a los más pobres. No tiene piedad y a menudo llega como una tormenta inesperada, dejando caer un aguacero interminable sobre los sueños de los jóvenes.

• Our life of contemplation shall retain the following characteristics: —missionary: by going out physically or in spirit in search of souls all over the universe. —contemplative: by gathering the whole universe at the very center of our hearts where the Lord of the universe abides, and allowing the pure water of divine grace to flow plentifully and unceasingly from the source itself, on the whole of his creation. —universal: by praying and contemplating with all and for all, especially with and for the spiritually poorest of the poor.

• ...even the richest personality is nothing before he has chosen himself, and on the other hand even what one might call the poorest personality is everything when he has chosen himself; for the great thing is not to be this or that but to be oneself, and this everyone can be if he wills it.

• As she watched all of this, Liesel was certain that these were the poorest souls alive. That's what she wrote about them . . . Some looked appealingly at those who had come to observe their humiliation, this prelude to their deaths. Others pleaded for someone, anyone to step forward and catch them in their arms. No one did.

• El mundo sería mejor
  si la gente intentara ser mejor.
  Y la gente sería mejor
  si dejaran de intentar ser mejores.
  Porque cuando todo el mundo intenta
  mejorar,
  nadie está mejor.
  Pero cuando todo el mundo trata de ser mejor,
  todo el mundo está mejor.

• Consideremos el Corán... este miserable libro fue suficiente para iniciar una religión mundial, para satisfacer la necesidad metafísica de incontables millones durante mil doscientos años, para convertirse en la base de su moralidad y de un notable desprecio por la muerte, y también para inspirarlos a guerras sangrientas y a las más extensas conquistas. En este libro encontramos la forma más triste y pobre de teísmo. Puede que se pierda mucho en la traducción, pero no he sido capaz de descubrir en él ni una sola idea de valor.

• Los liberales creen que la delincuencia está inextricablemente ligada a la pobreza. En realidad, la mayoría de los pobres nunca recurren a la delincuencia, y algunos ricos cometen actos perversos para enriquecerse aún más. Harlem, el este de Los Ángeles o el sur de Chicago no son las comunidades más pobres de Estados Unidos. Según un nuevo informe de la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos, las comunidades más pobres son el condado de Shannon, en Dakota del Sur, seguido de Starr, en Texas, y Tunica, en Mississippi. ¿Has oído alguna vez que estos residentes se hayan amotinado para protestar por sus condiciones de vida?

• In America, no other distinction between man and man had ever been known but that of persons in office exercising powers by authority of the laws, and private individuals. Among these last, the poorest laborer stood on equal ground with the wealthiest millionaire, and generally on a more favored one whenever their rights seem to jar.

• Black people are the magical faces at the bottom of society's well. Even the poorest whites, those who must live their lives only a few levels above, gain their self-esteem by gazing down on us. Surely, they must know that their deliverance depends on letting down their ropes. Only by working together is escape possible. Over time, many reach out, but most simply watch, mesmerized into maintaining their unspoken commitment to keeping us where we are, at whatever cost to them or to us (Bell).
