"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."

Abraham Lincoln
