Abraham Lincoln authored a list of maxims beginning with 'You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.'"One of author Ralph Keyes' axioms of misquotations is"Famous quotes need famous mouths," and the fulfillment of that need has, for the last several decades, put on the lips of Abraham Lincoln words that were not written until more than fifty years after Lincoln's death, penned by an obscure personage whose name is unknown to most living Americans.
Boetcker's collection of maxims eventually crystallized as the list of ten now familiar entries reproduced above:* You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.* You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.* You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.* You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.* You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
