Written by the Rev. William J. H. Boetcker
Presbyterian Clergyman in 1916
You cannot :
bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
help small men by tearing down big men.
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
help the poor man by destroying the rich.
keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
establish security on borrowed money.
build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
