The chasm between rich and poor is becoming larger, and I think it's interesting terrain to talk about and expose.
When you look for a man- what you want to look for is a man with the heart of a poor boy and the mind of a conqueror.
Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.
You know you poor when you eatin' breakfast food late. You fryin' toast? At nine o'clock at night? With bacon? You're broke.
Somewhere near you, somebody right now is trying to help the indigent and poor - providing food, shelter, clothing or simple kindness.
Men who are scandalized at the lack of freedom in Russia do not ask themselves how real is liberty among the poor, the weak, and the ignorant in capitalist society.
The only violence was when these so-called 'freedom fighters' terrorized the poor Africans in the villages... They were told what to do and who to support.
When we deny the poor and the vulnerable their own human dignity and capacity for freedom and choice, it becomes self-denial. It becomes a denial of both our collective and individual dignity, at all levels of society.
My mother Diana was a true-blue aristocrat, descended from William the Conqueror and listed in 'Burke's Peerage.' My father David, from a poor Scottish family, was a doctor.

The poor don't live in functional market economies as the rest of us do, but in political economies where corruption and broken systems extend from local government to moneylenders.
I've seen it with my own eyes: When government takes money from the poor and the middle class, everyone suffers.
Rather than improving the wealth of their own nation, the Mexican government encourages its poor to come to the U.S. and send money home.

Throughout human history, the American Idea has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.
I came up poor. My mother only had a fourth-grade education. My dad didn't have any education at all. But they were very structured. They worked hard. You know, they didn't complain. They didn't murmur. And they believe in the Christ.
In 1997, in Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I stated, 'Your home is not an asset.' Real estate agents sent me hate mail.
