Abraham Lincoln Libertarian Quotations

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good.

That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
