Yesterday I posted Part 1 of the Five Best Sentences Ever Written.. Someone responded with another quintet:
1) You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2) When one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3) The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4) You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5) When half the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Thoughts?
