..."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 men by encouraging class hatred...you cannot help the poor by discouraging the rich...you cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence." Abraham Lincoln
This is among the quotations my Dad taught us in childhood and lived out himself. This was one of his favorites. While sorting through long neglected boxes today, I found a small poster featuring this quote with a striking photo of Lincoln's memorial statue profile. A heritage moment of truth for me....
