| Abe Lincoln says: |
| 05.05.09 (1:19 pm) [edit] |
"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." |

An outspoken political conservative, Rev. Boetcker is perhaps best remembered for his authorship of a pamphlet entitled The Ten Cannots. Originally published in 1916, it is often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln. Ten Cannots” has been repeated many times since, most notably by Ronald Reagan in a speech he gave at the 1992 Republican convention in Houston.

I doubt that Honest Abe had much opportunity to put these into practice, since most of his time and energy were dedicated to the preservation of the Union by all means at his disposal, including the expansion of government and severe curtailment of personal liberties. I guess Lincoln was a Republican, but just didn't have much opportunity to govern domestically as one.
