Quote by Anatole France

It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.

It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue,

Summary

This quote suggests that the poor often have no choice but to pay for goods and services in cash because they are excluded from accessing credit. It implies that their inability to obtain credit is not a result of their virtuous decision to avoid debt, but rather a consequence of being denied the opportunity to borrow money. The quote sheds light on the economic disparity and systemic barriers faced by impoverished individuals, emphasizing that their lack of credit is not attributable to personal choice or character.

We have all seen with a sense of nausea the abject, squalid, shameless avowal made in the Oxford Union. We are told that we ought not to treat it seriously. The Times talked of the childrens hour. I disagree. It is a very disquieting and disgusting symptom. One can almost feel the curl of contempt upon the lips of the manhood of Germany, Italy, and France when they read the message sent out by Oxford University in the name of Young England.

But before they blame, as blame they should, these callow ill-tutored youths, they must be sure that they have not been set a bad example by people much older and much higher up.

My mother says that pain is hidden in everyone you see. She says try to imagine it like big bunches of flowers that everyone is carrying around with them. Think of your pain like a big bunch of red roses, a beautiful thorn necklace. Everyone has one.
