Work hard and be poor, do nothing and get more.

The Hand of Ethelberta (1876), ch. 1.Thomas Hardy
I understand that people might be poor if they don't have any work, but I don't accept that someone is poor if they've worked really hard.
Nicolas Sarkozy
The bread was dry and hard, only a scraping of butter was left, he was out of milk, all he had was some rather mediocre coffee, as we know, a man who had never found a woman who would love him enough to agree to join him in this hovel, such a man, apart from rare exceptions which have no place in this story, will never be more than a poor devil, it's odd that we always say poor devil and never poor god, [...]
Jose Saramago
To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.
W. E. B. DuBois
Hard work and training. There's no secret formula. I lift heavy, work hard and aim to be the best.
Ronnie Coleman
We of the great modern democracies must strive unceasingly to make our several countries lands in which a poor man who works hard can live comfortably and honestly, and in which a rich man cannot live dishonestly nor in slothful avoidance of duty; and yet we must judge rich man and poor man alike by a standard which rests on conduct and not on caste, and we must frown with the same stern severity on the mean and vicious envy which hates and would plunder a man because he is well off and on the brutal and selfish arrogance which looks down on and exploits the man with whom life has gone hard.
