You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
