“Quote of the Day The late Dr. Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) offered
the following observation several years ago and it bears poignant
significance today:
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the
rich out of freedom. What one person receives without working for,
another person must work for without receiving. The government
cannot give to anybody anything 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 the wealth by dividing it.”
― Adrian Rogers
