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 men’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and should, do for themselves.
You betcha!
You cannot help the rich by ignoring the poor.
You cannot strengthen the weak by strengthening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by encouraging shopping as a solution to crisis.
You cannot lift the wage earner by building up only the wage payer.
You cannot encourage brotherhood by fomenting racial divides.
You cannot build character by brushing accountability under the rug.
You cannot help men permanently by ignoring economic and educational inequities and injustices.
You cannot handle change well.
You cannot stop seeing your shrink.
You cannot stop fearing the worst.
You cannot help us change.
Well maybe you can…
Damn it, somebody was discouraging thrift while I was so busy? Let’s go get ’em Terry!
