Eisenhower

wow...this reminds me of my childhood...a friend sent this to me, and it makes me smile and feel good.


You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

-Abraham Lincoln

Lord, Help me to: help the poor, strengthen the weak, bring about prosperity, lift, further brotherhood, build character and courage,and be helpful to others.
