Dr. Adrian Rogers (1931to 2005)

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy outof freedom. What one person receives without working for, another personmust work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybodyanything that the government does not first take from somebody else. Whenhalf of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because theother half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets theidea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get whatthey work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. Youcannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
