Felipe Perez Roque
Little is known about the effect that computer technology can have over poverty.
Francisco Flores
So much focus in the country is the impoverished minority community. But while 25 percent of the black community lives in poverty, 75 percent is outside of that. It doesn't always get in the news.

Patricia Wright
Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error: error in determining guilt and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die. What effect was race having? What effect was poverty having?
George Ryan
If people feel negative about money, or they don't feel entitled to it, those people have a lot of what I call 'poverty thinking' and that will defeat the other traits that enable the millionaire to achieve. Self-made millionaires feel justified and worthy in their use of money.
James Gottfurcht
I have come to believe that the one thing people cannot bear is a sense of injustice. Poverty, cold, even hunger, are more bearable than injustice.
Millicent Fenwick
Serbia is now facing very difficult circumstances. Children and young people are perhaps the most endangered anywhere in Europe. Two-thirds of the people in Serbia are living at or below the poverty line.

Edgar Rice Burroughs
The poverty rate seems to be the last lonely lagging indicator of the business cycle.

Zbigniew Brzezinski
What we want is not just that they construct a building but that they also build the community. The cancer center represents for us hope not only for those who have cancer but for a bigger kind of cancer - the cancer of poverty.
