Poor Quotations
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. Jean-Paul Sartre He who knows how to be poor knows everything. Jules Michelet Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. William Shakespeare I have just been all round the world and have formed a very poor opinion of it. Thomas Beecham Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt |
