If the nation is rich but people are poor, the country cannot be strong, and society will be unstable.

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

There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.

Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.

There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.

Africa is rich, and why are we poor then if our continent is rich. It is not right.

All countries have poor people. Yet it's a very rare country which understands the indignities of poverty, while education systems maintain the status quo. The children of the elite go to the best schools and get the best jobs, not because they are the best. We're not taking advantage of the intellectual power on this planet.

Poor countries are poor because they are wasting their resources.

Think about it: Every educated person is not rich, but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty.
