Abraham Lincoln Quote

Here is an Abraham Lincoln quote that I found on Google Plus. It sounded so great that I just had to share it for today.

Abraham Lincoln completely understood what it takes for the people of a society to live in freedom, with prosperity and true happiness...and so they killed him. -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 men’s initiative and independence. -You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. - Abraham Lincoln

I am not so sure about the "so they killed him part." It is a shame that people got killed for wanted to do the right thing and saying things that people can not understand because they live in so much hatred, and self absorption. I hope people will help people succeed and have a good future instead of taking away everything they need to have what it takes to want to work for what they get instead of depending on government gifts.
