I think the best way
of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving
them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries,
that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for
themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done
for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Ben Franklin
