The Ten Cannot’s
William J.H. Boetcker
  • You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
  • You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
  • You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
  • You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
  • You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  • You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
  • You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
  • You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
  • You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
  • And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
Hal-lah-fukin'-loo-ya!

- my father

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough." [Edited for content] -Cheif Warrant Officer Campington. The original quote was three times as long when shouted at me, but probably shouldn't be repeated in polite company.
