As society advances the standard of poverty rises.

As society advances the standard of poverty rises.

Summary

This quote suggests that as society progresses and improves, the definition of poverty also evolves to reflect higher living standards. This means that what was once considered sufficient to meet basic needs may no longer be considered acceptable. As society's expectations and aspirations grow, so does the bar for what is considered poverty. This implies that poverty is a relative concept that is tied to societal progress and will continue to shift with changing standards of living.

False greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.

We, perhaps, have corrupted our children and our grandchildren by heedless affluence, by a lack of manliness, by giving the younger generation more money and liberty than their youth can handle, by indoctrinating them with sinister ideologies and false values, by permitting them, as young children, to indulge themselves in imprudence to superiors and defiance of duly constituted authority, by lack of prudent, swift punishment when the transgressed, by coddling and pampering them when they were children and protecting them from a very dangerous world
