Here is something to think about...
You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the
wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by
inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away
people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people
permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for
themselves.

Thanks for the inspirational quote!
Brayden wants to have Ezra over. What works for you?
Wow, good one!
Amen!
Funny how that old stuff still works today, huh.
Abraham Lincoln has always been my favorite hero. I have never heard these words from him. That is awesome and so true. Go Abe! Obama want to listen?
Awesome quote!!!! Seems like the opposite of Obama, unfortunately.
