The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. This reconciliation package fails that test as well.
Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.
For me, the opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It's enough. I'm enough. My kids are enough.
If we hold the poverty thought, the penury thought, the thought of lack, we cannot demonstrate abundance. We must hold the plenty thought if we would reach plenty.
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
It's well-known that people don't respond to scarce resources necessarily in what we might consider a positive light.
There is nothing in this world which could be not described as requiring more.
By having much, you are fitted to have more.
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
