“I am for doing good to the poor, but…I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.

And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Many people die at twenty five and aren’t buried until they are seventy five.”
