Trappist
Monk, Father Thomas Merton
"It is easy enough to
tell the poor to accept their poverty as Gods will when you yourself have warm
clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no
worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you try to share some of
their poverty and see if you can accept it as Gods will yourself! "

"A full belly does not believe in hunger."
Italian proverb

"The
modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercise in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for
selfishness.”
John
Kenneth Galbraith

***
Among the
Very Rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may
give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are
egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money
you must be dull enough to want it.
G. K. Chesterton
