Found this and it struck me as 200+ year old wisdom we as a nation are now seeming to ignore.

- George Washington

Here's a variation of this:
 
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will hang out in boats all day, drinking beer, telling lies, and otherwise being a non-productive member of society.."  [:D]

STATEMENTS MADE BY THE LATE DR. ADRIAN ROGERS OF BELLEVUE BAPTIST
CHURCH , MEMPHIS , TENNESSEE :



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 that
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
about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. [/align]
