Poverty Action Group

Famous quotes containing the words poverty, action and/or group:

    “There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
    And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
    The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
    Successless wars, and poverty behind;
    Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
    And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
    The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
    And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.”
    —Francis Aungier, Pakenham, 7th Earl Longford (b. 1905)
