"Care for us! True, indeed! They ne'er..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.”

“Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,And for thy maintenance commits his bodyTo painful labour both by sea and land,To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;And craves no other tribute at thy handsBut love, fair looks and true obedience;Too little payment for so great a debt.”

“Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity; My riches are these poor habiliments, Of which if you should here disfurnish me, You take the sum and substance that I have.”

“‎It is a cruel injustice to tell a bootless man to pull himself up by his bootstraps.”

“Paper money has had the effect in your State that it ever will have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open a door to every species of fraud and injustice.”

“If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”

“In inner-city, low-income communities of color, there's such a high correlation in terms of educational quality and success.”

“I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.”

“Truly, whoever possesses little is that much less possessed: praised be a little poverty!”
