Top 5 Steve Corbett Quotes (2025 Update)

1. “While poor people mention having a lack of material things, they tend to describe their condition in far more psychological and social terms than our North American audiences. Poor people typically talk in terms of shame, inferiority, powerlessness, humiliation, fear, hopelessness, depression, social isolation, and voicelessness. North American audiences tend to emphasize a lack of material things such as food, money, clean water, medicine, housing, etc.”

3. “Healthy relationships require transformed hearts, not just transformed brains.”

— Steve Corbett

4. “If we reduce human beings to being simply physical – as Western thought is prone to do – our poverty-alleviation efforts will tend to focus on material solutions. But if we remember that humans are spiritual, social, psychological, and physical beings, our poverty-alleviation efforts will be more holistic in their design and execution.”

— Steve Corbett

5. “Reverend Marsh sought the King without the kingdom. The civil rights workers sought the kingdom without the King.”
