A Word from Our
Past President - Dan Bassuk
(Dan passed away in May of 2005)
"Tom Cecil called and asked me about using the "Cannots." This
sparked an idea. Over the years other Lincoln Presenters have used
these "Cannots," really thinking that Lincoln said them. He did not,
even though they are attributed to him." I thought the Web Site
could warn the Lincoln Presenters before some "wise" newspaper
reporter trips them up. When President Reagan used them, various
Lincoln Scholars pointed out his error. The "Sound advise from
Abraham Lincoln" was not written by Abraham Lincoln. They were
written by Rev. Boetscher about 75 years ago and passed off as
Lincoln sayings. They do sound a bit like Lincoln's sayings, and
they really expressed some of Lincoln's own sentiments. But they are
not by Abraham Lincoln, and are not authentic. You can fool some
people all of the time, but let us not fooled by the 9 "Cannots" of
Rev. Boetscher. |
"The 10 Cannots"
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's
initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could
and should do for themselves.
Written by Rev. Boetscher |
