Working Poverty Rates

Famous quotes containing the words working, poverty and/or rates:

    ... working at the factory ... gave my time value. It gave my body value. It gave me value.
    Ferrara (b. c. 1945)

    Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    [The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
