Wisdom adorneth riches and casteth a shadow over poverty.

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

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.

God does not create poverty; we do, because we do not share.

There is no water like rainwater; no strength like one's own; no light like that of the eyes; and no wealth more dear than food grain.

Men pray to the Almighty to relieve poverty. But poverty comes not from God's laws-it is blasphemy of the worst kind to say that. Poverty comes from man's injustice to his fellow man.
