"What improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconveniency to the whole. No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable."


"The rich do wrong and boast of it,
while the poor are wronged and beg forgiveness"

"Wild donkeys of the desert are lion’s prey;
likewise the poor are feeding grounds for the rich."

Whoops, the last two are from the Bible.
