The 5 Best Sentences You'll Ever Read

This is probably the 5 best sentences you'll ever read. This is one
paragraph that should be in every book in every school room in every city in
every state in our great Union. Our educators should make a lesson plan on
this one statement and beat these words into every head in every class in
every state in these United States of America.

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy
out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another
person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to
anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. 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 the beginning of the end of any
nation.

5. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Adrian Rogers, 1931*
