Poor Quotes
-
Developing films with directors, developing films with actors, is a poor percentage play for a screenwriter.
Tony Gilroy

I learned at a very early age that life is a battle. My family was poor, my neighborhood was poor. The only way that I could get away from the awfulness of life, at that time, was at the movies. There I decided that my big aim was to make money. And it was there that I became a very determined woman.
Susan Hayward

The physicists, on the other hand, use excellent methods and accurate instruments, but they apply these to very inferior materials.

Wolfgang Ostwald

Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience.

Sébastien-Roch Nicolas

Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less; Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare
-
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
William Shakespeare
-
If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty.
