More on Poverty
“To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest. I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.”
“War on nations changes maps. War on poverty maps change.”
“It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor; It's outrageous, the crimes some human beings must endure.”
More on Money
“We make our money out of our friends. Our enemies will not do business with us.”
“If we lose our Money, it gives us some Concern. If we are cheated or robb'd of it, we are angry: But Money lost may be found; what we are robb'd of may be restored: The Treasure of Time once lost, can never be recovered; yet we squander it as tho' 'twere nothing worth, or we had no Use for it.”
“Money enables us to get what we want instead of what other people think we want.”
