Poor Rich

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or rich:

    But the dirty little coward that shot Mister Howard,
    He laid poor Jesse in his grave.
    Unknown. Jesse James (l. Chorus)

    Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies,—neighbors are kind enough for that,—but to do the like office to our spirits. For this few are rich enough, however well disposed they may be.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
