A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Remember, the man who is poor is not the man that has no money, but one without a dream. They are suffering that have no dream. They are poor that have no dream.
The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.
No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.
In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life.
The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.
It is said that man doesn't live by bread alone. Sometimes this is unfortunate, because people who cannot live by bread alone too often kill other people in consequence of the fights they get into.
He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
He is poor indeed that can promise nothing.
Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
