Abraham Lincoln
"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."
Margaret Thatcher

“The time has come to match outgo to income, instead of always doing it the other way around.”
Dr. Adrian Rogers - 1931
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The Government cannot give to anybody anything that the Government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they don't have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and, when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend is the end for any Nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it”.
