Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

We must powder our wigs; that is why so many poor people have no bread.

Lack of luxury is not a reason to push others to poverty. ~ Michael A. van Doorn, Odyssey of a Heart, Home of a Soul

I've had the luxury of travel and in the luxury of travel, I've seen the detriments of poverty and I've gone on to see how easy the cures can be--cures that cost cents to the richest nations in the world,

I've had the luxury of travel and, in the luxury of travel, I've seen the detriments of poverty and I've gone on to see how easy the cures can be--cures that cost cents to the richest nations in the world,

Luxury ruins republics; poverty, monarchies.
