“There is a difference between being broke and being poor. Being broke is a temporary economic situation, but being poor is disabling frame of mind, and a depressed condition of one's spirit, and we must all vow to never, ever be poor again.”

“Actors never say they're poor. They're always broke. It's always just temporary. 'Broke' is 'poor with hope'.”

“Most of the people in the world are poor, so if we knew the economics of being poor we would know much of the economics that really matters.”

“The hard part was living the contrast between being rich and being broke. It was like being smart, and waking up one day to find yourself dumb as a rock, but able to remember your former brains.”

“Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting.”

“Being poor in the Spirit means you are humble, gentle, meek, God-fearing,kind and exhibit the fruits of the Spirit but being Spiritually poor is lacking in every thing that pertains to life and godliness.”

“And how does one lead? We lead by doing; we lead by being.”
