Greeting America, from the UK.
I found this quite by accident and felt I had to pass it on.
AMERICA’S
CREDO: A MESSAGE FROM THE PAST
“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the
strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the
wage payer.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by
encouraging hatred.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot stay out of trouble by spending more than
you earn.
You cannot build character and courage, by taking away
a man’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what
they could, and should, do for themselves.”
ABRAHAM LINCOLN 1865
