Poor Countries

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or countries:

“The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
