I received the following quotes in an e-mail this morning. They are attributed to Abraham Lincoln. I think they’re pretty appropriate given that the election is coming up.
Great Words of Wisdom From Abraham Lincoln
You cannot bring 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 the 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 learn to help men permanently by doing for them what they should be doing for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Something to think about.
Also …
“You cannot stick a Cadillac up your nose.”
Oh, wait, that was Steve Martin. My mistake.
