Lincoln's Reminders
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by
tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by
weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage earner by
pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor man by
destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by
spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood
of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on
borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking
away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them
what they could and should do for themselves.
- ABRAHAM LINCOLN |
President & CEO, Gregory Oakes
