Earlier today I was going through an old computer file and came across the following quote. I don't know where I picked it up. If anyone knows the source, I will be glad to give proper credit. [Update: A reader informs me that this was spoken by the late Dr. Adrian Rogers of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN.]
Here's the quote:
The government cannot give to anybody anything that 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.
