"You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong
You cannot help the small men, by tearing down the big men
You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich
You cannot help the wage earner, by pulling down the wage payer
You cannot keep out of trouble, by spending more than your income
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting hatreds
You cannot establish security on borrowed money
You cannot build character and courage, by taking away a man's initiative and independence
You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should be doing for themselves."
