ABE LINCOLN

 

. . .     "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

. . .     You cannot help the malingerer by pulling down the wage payer.

. . .     You cannot prove the president of men by discouraging the masses.

. . .     You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

. . .     You cannot establish sound securities on borrowed money.

. . .     And, you cannot build character and courage by taking man's initiative

and independence away from him.

. . .     And, you cannot help man permanently by doing for him what he could

be doing for himself."
