Poor Relief

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or relief:

    “Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Courtship was a serious business for the reason that everybody knew when a young couple began to ‘set up’ with each other. They could tell by the sparks flying from the chimney late at night.”
    —State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
