Truths

I am strong on America, and I feel strongly about the inherent truths in these ideas:

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

Several have been attributed to Abraham Lincoln from his speeches.
And some were delivered by Ronald Reagen in one of his campaign speeches;

"I heard those speakers at that other convention saying 'we won the Cold War'- and I couldn't help wondering, just who exactly do they mean by 'we'. And to top it off, they even tried to portray themselves as sharing the same fundamental values of our party! What they truly don't understand is the principle so eloquently state by Abraham Lincoln: "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
Ronald Reagen

The full list above was published by William J. H. Boetcker (1873 - 1962) an American religious leader and influential public speaker.

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." .... Ronald Reagan If you are an educated American, then you should know... Freedom is not free. America has problems. It is not perfect. But it is still the best place on this Earth to live. We are the most diverse nation in the world. And virtually everyone in the world who understands us, wants to come here, even with our problems. Do you still feel thankful and proud to be an American? Do you still get Goosebumps when you hear our National Anthem? Have you forgotten the freedoms we have, the opportunity for pursuing our individual passions, the ability to choose where we want to be and what we want to do? With all of America's problems, are you contributing to help solve them? And with these problems, do you realize that we still are a part of the greatest country the world has Ever known?

"The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Supreme Court Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis, Whitney v. California [1927]
