Money is a poor man's credit card.
Marshall McLuhan, Canadian Sociologist (1911-1980)
It is not acceptable that we continue to see thousands of acres burn because of forest fires, because of poor management on our forests, big kill, and we have these catastrophic situations take place when we are not able to take action.
Cathy McMorris, American Politician (1969-  )
I enjoy my money, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'd certainly rather be rich than poor.
Christine McVie, American Musician (1943-  )
I don't want to remember 2005 as a year that the government heaped unnecessary burdens upon American families. Stealing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich, while increasing the deficit, is hardly responsible.
Marty Meehan, American Politician (1956-  )
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Herman Melville, American Novelist (1819-1891)
The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
H. L. Mencken, American Writer (1880-1956)
I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
Michelangelo, Italian Artist (1475-1564)
He who knows how to be poor knows everything.
Jules Michelet, French Historian (1798-1874)
Though I be poor, I'm honest.
Thomas Middleton, English Poet (1580-  )
The universe lies before you on the floor, in the air, in the mysterious bodies of your dancers, in your mind. From this voyage no one returns poor or weary.
Agnes de Mille, American Dancer (1905-1993)
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Henry Miller, American Author (1891-1980)
Television preachers extract money from the poor to live in a style and to indulge in shameful acts which equal or outdo the worst of the Renaissance Popes.
J. Irwin Miller, American Businessman (1909-2004)
I've chosen my wedding ring large and heavy to continue forever. But exactly because of that all the time that Dave and I have an argument I feel it like handcuffs, and on anger time I throw it in a basket. Poor Dave, he bought me three wedding rings already!
Carmen Miranda, Portuguese Musician (1909-1955)
My parents were very poor, but we never felt any sense of need or want. It was a very close, loving, tightly-knit family growing up, and I never felt any sense of deprivation or anything like that.
George J. Mitchell, American Politician (1933-  )
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Michel de Montaigne, French Philosopher (1533-1592)
I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality, the question is money. That's what we're upset about.
Toni Morrison, American Novelist (1931-  )
It is the lash of hunger which compels the poor man to submit. In order to live he must sell - 'voluntarily' sell - himself every day and hour to the 'beast of property.'
Johann Most, German Revolutionary (1846-1906)
Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.
Robert Motherwell, American Artist (1915-1991)
The black population now consists of two distinct classes-the middle class and the poor.
Constance Baker Motley, American Activist (1921-2005)
In real terms, there is a greater disparity of earnings between the very rich and the very poor.
Ferdinand Mount, British Writer (1939-  )
