ÔÇ£So wickedly, devilishly false is that common objection, ÔÇÿThey are poor, only because they are idleÔÇÖ.
John Wesley
"To blame the poor for subsisting on welfare has no justice unless we are also willing to judge every rich member of society by how productive he or she is. Taken individual by individual, it is likely that there's more idleness and abuse of government favours among the economically privileged than among the ranks of the disadvantaged"
Norman Mailer
"To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque & insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less."
Oscar Wilde
"All great truths begin as blasphemies."
George Bernard Shaw
