Quotes, quotes and more quotes...

I have all kinds of notebooks full of them.  Quotes.  Quotes I've read in books, heard in movies, read in print.  Some I question who they are attributed to.  Some I take at face value the author is correct.  Anyway...I LOVE quotes.

I usually have a couple on my bulletin board at work.  I have them on my email signature line.  They reflect who I am in many ways.

While checking out my desk drawer at home I ran across a small quote book and some valuable information attributed to none other than Abraham Lincoln.  Might be correct....might not be.  Anyway, good quotes!

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER - Abraham Lincoln

  • 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 help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
  • You cannot further brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
  • You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  • You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
  • You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
  • You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.  
  • You cannot help men permanently doing for them what they could do and should do for themselves.
And....on that last note....I left my husband's dirty jeans for him to wash...because he could!
