Something to think about

I just read this quote and wanted to encourage others to think about it, too.

This is a quote worth reading and holding onto...let it sink in!

"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 about the
end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing

it."
~~~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005, Former
Pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis , TN ~~~
