"As for the virtuous poor, one can pity……" — Oscar Wilde

"As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid."

Oscar Wilde
