Abraham Lincoln quote

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

Re: Abraham Lincoln quote

I am not saying that,Lincoln said it in the quote above,and you said it. :shock: Lincoln,bad.........bad president,he should have kept his mouth shut and went with the status quo, but noooo,he had to speak out against socialism,they were fighting then as we are now.

What, about a hundred and sum thin years ago he said it,and just think about it he knew what a socialist would do before they knew what they would do. :lol:
