“Poverty is a fortress without drawbridges.”
“Words can be a fortress or a drawbridge to disaster”
“Poverty without a people's government looks like hopelessness, but to see poverty in organized communities is to see relief-in-progress.”
“What is Poverty? A hateful good; a mother of health; a putting away of cares; a discoverer of wisdom; business without injury; ownership without calumny; happiness without anxiety.”
“Pride is a fool's fortress”
“Therefore the best fortress is to be found in the love of the people, for although you may have fortresses they will not save you if you are hated by the people.”
