George Herbert: Poor

“It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle.”

“My meaning (dear Mother) is in these sonnets, to declare my resolution to be, that my poor abilities in poetry, shall be all and ever consecrated to God's glory.”

“[ Much money makes a countrey poor, for it sets a dearer price on every thing. ]”

“Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.”

“305. He is not poore that hath little, but he that desireth much.”

“473. Hope is the poor man's bread.”
