Well the protester I think is a very powerful thing. It's basically a mechanism of democracy that, along with capitalism, scientific innovation, those things have built the modern world. And it's wonderful that the new tools have empowered that protestor so that state secrets, bad developments are not hidden anymore.

People might not protest for overtly political or social causes, but when they can't feed themselves and their family, they will take to the streets.

Nobody is poor unless he stand in need of justice.

This is America. Anyone is free to protest about anything they want.

Not all of those who cry 'The poor, the poor!' will enter the kingdom of heaven.

If you're raised with a poverty mentality, nothing is going to change it. I do know some really stingy billionaires. I come from such a generation of hand-to-mouthers.

He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.

Who can protest alone? Who dares rise up? It is not easy. One is all alone, and evermore shall be so.

For far too long the world's poorest people have seen no benefit from the vast natural resources in their own backyards. It is time to end the injustice where ordinary people are silent witnesses, left to suffer without basic services, as the profits from their countries' assets are hidden and plundered by corrupt regimes.
