THE 10 "CANNOTS" BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN

"You cannot build character and courage

by taking away man's initiative and independence."

"You cannot help small men

by tearing down big men."

"You cannot strengthen the weak

by weakening the strong."

"You cannot lift the wage earner

by pulling down the wage payer."

"You cannot help the poor man

by destroying the rich."

"You cannot keep out of trouble

by spending more than your income."

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man

by initiating class hatred."

"You cannot establish security

on borrowed money."

"You cannot bring about prosperity

by discouraging thrift."

"You cannot help men permanently

by doing for them

what they could and should

do for themselves."
