Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms.

Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and prosperit

Summary

This quote suggests that rather than providing financial rewards or incentives to certain individuals or groups, it is more effective to establish fair and unbiased laws that guarantee equal opportunities for everyone. By creating a system that ensures people's safety, well-being, and the chance to thrive, the need for charity or handouts diminishes. It implies that by addressing the root causes of inequality and creating a level playing field, society can eradicate the need for charitable or welfare measures.
