RANDOM THOUGHTS AS THEY PASS BY

Can we help the poor by destroying the rich? Can we strengthen the weak by weakening the strong? Can we bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift? Can we lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down? Can we further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred? Can we build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence? Can we help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves?
