  • Deep thinkers who look everywhere for the mysterious causes of poverty, ignorance, crime and war need look no further than their own mirrors. We are all born into this world poor and ignorant, and with thoroughly selfish and barbaric impulses. Those of us who turn out any other way do so largely through the efforts of others, who civilized us before we got big enough to do too much damage to the world or ourselves.

    War   Selfish   Ignorance  
    Thomas Sowell (1987). “Compassion Versus Guilt and Other Essays”, William Morrow

    "Transcript of Bill Clinton's Speech to the Democratic National Convention". www.nytimes.com. September 5, 2012.

    Children   People   Enemy  
    "The Family". The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Website, www.lds.org. October 1998.
  • One would have thought that it was even more necessary to limit population than property; and that the limit should be fixed by calculating the chances of mortality in the children, and of sterility in married persons. The neglect of this subject, which in existing states is so common, is a never-failing cause of poverty among the citizens; and poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

    Aristotle, (2014). “Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 2: The Revised Oxford Translation”, p.2008, Princeton University Press

  • I have heard it said that families with many children and high birth rates are among the cause of poverty. It seems to me a simplistic opinion. I can say that the main cause of poverty is an economic system that has removed the person from the center.

  • Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

    Aristotle, Stephen Everson (1996). “Aristotle: The Politics and the Constitution of Athens”, p.41, Cambridge University Press

  • Look at what realists have done for us. They have led us to war and climate change, poverty on an unimaginable scale, and wholesale ecological destruction. Half of humanity goes to bed hungry because of all the realistic leaders in the world. I tell people who call me 'unrealistic' to show me what their realism has done. Realism is an outdated, overplayed and wholly exaggerated concept.

    "Soul man" by John Vidal, www.theguardian.com. January 16, 2008.
  • Practically all government attempts to redistribute wealth and income tend to smother productive incentives and lead toward general impoverishment.

    Henry Hazlitt (2010). “Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics”, p.228, Crown Business

  • First we have to recognize that the cause of poverty is both structural and behavioral. And the first thing about the behavior part is that we need a moral revolution within the African American community. Look - no white racist makes you get pregnant when you are a black teenager.

    "35 Million Ways to Be Black". Interview with Adam Hochschild, www.motherjones.com. March 14, 2007.
  • Because there is global insecurity, nations are engaged in a mad arms race, spending billions of dollars wastefully on instruments of destruction, when millions are starving. And yet, just a fraction of what is expended so obscenely on defense budgets would make the difference in enabling God's children to fill their stomachs, be educated, and given the chance to lead fulfilled and happy lives.

    Desmond Tutu's Nobel Lecture in Oslo, Norway, www.nobelprize.org. December 11, 1984.
  • The cause of poverty is not scarcity. It is fear and small thinking.
