Rich are Proud, Poor are Hungry: Jonathan Swift

"Poor nations are hungry and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance" -- Jonathan Swift

Rich & Poor Share Nothing in Common: Disraeli

"Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor" -- Benjamin Disraeli
