Ten Secrets for a Successful Family
I received an email today that contained a message about “free lunches” i.e. getting something for nothing.
There is one section from it that that I’d like to share with you:
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of 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 my dear friend, is the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
I did a bit of research on this paragraph, and it turns out it is from the late Adrian Rogers, a pastor and author from Florida, and was published in his book Ten Secrets for a Successful Family: A Perfect 10 for Homes that Win
I feel a lot of governments could learn from this. My little post here won’t change anything, but at least it gets it off my chest
