Poor Condition

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or condition:

“A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“...Negroes must concern themselves with every single means of struggle: legal, illegal, passive, active, violent and non- violent.... They must harass, debate, petition, boycott, sing hymns, pray on steps—and shoot from their windows when the racists come cruising through their communities.... The acceptance of our condition is the only form of extremism which discredits us before our children [ellipses in source].”
