Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.

Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.
The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
We need to accept the principle that sometimes poor people will die just because they are poor.
Poverty is not inevitable. It is a human ill that we can fight if we decide to do so together.
No man is an island. If you want to blame anybody for poisoning the world with that socialistic idea, blame John Donne.
Poverty is the frontier we have to be able to cross.
The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor.

We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.
