"Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies.
This call for a world-wide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all men." Martin Luther King
"The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life."
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit."
- Eli Khamarov

- Mother Theresa
"Poverty is the worst form of violence."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"The US cannot win the war on terrorism unless we confront the social and political roots of poverty."
- Colin Powell
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have too much...it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
