A Quote by John Hope Bryant

There is a difference between broke and being poor. Being broke is a temporary economic condition, but being poor is a disabling frame of mind and a depressed condition of your spirit, and you must vow to never, ever be poor again.

I've never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is only a temporary situation.

Mike Todd

There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is temporary, and poor is eternal.

Robert Kiyosaki

Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition.

Dick Gregory

Broke is a temporary condition, poor is a state of mind.

Richard Francis Burton

Being broke is a temporary situation. Being poor is a state of mind.

Mike Todd

Aloneness is a state of being, whereas loneliness is a state of feeling. It's like the difference between being broke and being poor.

Townes Van Zandt

Actors never say they're poor. They're always broke. It's always just temporary. 'Broke' is 'poor with hope'.

Alison Arngrim

Poor is a state of mind. Broke is a state of wallet. You can fix being broke; it's not so easy to fix being poor.

Ric Edelman

Being Black and poor is, I think, radically different from being anything else and poor. Poor, to most Blacks, is a state of mind. Those who accept it are poor; those who struggle are middle class.

Nikki Giovanni

I don't want there to be this separation between the rich and poor. I may be part of the three percent because I've been fortunate and done well for myself, but I will never forget about the 97 percent. That was me growing up. I was so poor I dreamt about being just 'regular poor,' not 'poor, poor.'

Marlon Wayans

If you want to change who you are, begin by changing the size of your dream. Even if you are broke, it does not cost you anything to dream of being rich. Many poor people are poor because they have given up on dreaming.

Robert Kiyosaki

Being poor is a state of mind, not a condition.

Alphonso Jackson

The world does not have time to be with the poor, to learn with the poor, to listen to the poor. To listen to the poor is an exercise of great discipline, but such listening surely is what is required if charity is not to become a hatred of the poor for being poor.
