No Help to Poor to Destroy Rich, No Security Borrowed

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift ... You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer ... You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income ... You cannot establish security on borrowed money" -- William J. H. Boetcker

Poverty is the Ruin of the Poor

"The wealth of the rich is their fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor. The wages of the righteous bring them life, but the income of the wicked brings them punishment." -- Proverbs 10:15-16

Apportion Family Income Satisfactorily

"There are several ways in which to apportion the family income, all of them unsatisfactory." -- Robert Benchley
