Listen to the lyrics - we're singing about everyday life: rich people trying to keep money, poor people tying to get it, and everyone having trouble with their husband or wife!
Buddy Guy, American Musician (1936-  )
Marlon was so sensitive, you thought the poor guy just had a bad education.
Uta Hagen, German Actress (1919-2004)
First we attacked the Russian soldiers with our gases, and then when we saw the poor fellows lying there, dying slowly, we tried to make breathing easier for them by using our own life-saving devices on them.
Otto Hahn, German Scientist (1879-1968)
No one is rich whose expenditures exceed his means, and no one is poor whose incomings exceed his outgoings.
Thomas Chandler Haliburton, Canadian Author (1796-1865)
More negatives write than call. It's a cheap shot for me to go on the air with the critical letters or E-mail I get because the reaction of the listeners is always an instantaneous expression of sympathy for me and contempt for the poor critic.
John Hall, -
When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks, I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.
Alice Hamilton, American Scientist (1869-1970)
There are but two places where all go after death, white and black, rich and poor; those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those, who are born again, and who love God, and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.
Jupiter Hammon, American Poet
He will bring us all, rich and poor, white and black, to his judgment seat.
Jupiter Hammon, American Poet
Everybody needs history but the people who need it most are poor folks - people without resources or options.
Henry Hampton, American Activist (1940-1998)
When the idle poor become the idle rich, you'll never know just who is who, or which is which.
E. Y. Harburg, American Musician (1896-1981)
My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.
Thomas Hardy, English Novelist (1840-1928)
People who are much too sensitive to demand of cripples that they run races ask of the poor that they get up and act just like everyone else in the society.
Michael Harrington, American Writer (1928-1989)
That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.
Michael Harrington, American Writer (1928-1989)
Clothes make the poor invisible. America has the best-dressed poverty the world has ever known.
Michael Harrington, American Writer (1928-1989)
The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak.
Paul Harrison, -
I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
William Henry Harrison, American President (1773-1841)
I believe that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
William Henry Harrison, American President (1773-1841)
All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
William Henry Harrison, American President (1773-1841)
Dependency arguments often come from elites - either aid agencies or governments - and say something about attitudes to poor people.
Paul Harvey, American Journalist (1918-2009)
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt, English Critic (1778-1830)
