Could somebody please pass this along to our 44th President, who wants everybody to liken him to our 16th President:

" You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift."
" You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."

" You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer."

" You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred."

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

" You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn."

" You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence."

" You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

ALL QUOTES ABOVE BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN


A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

- THOMAS JEFFERSON
