Poverty Quotes

“If we want to cure the things that threaten life, limb and even survival, we need to heal our sick political system.

That is war, climate change, poverty, etc. We've got to fix our politics.”

We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
