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 instead of relying on charity and government assistance to address social inequalities, a society should focus on creating a fair and just system. By implementing equal laws and ensuring individuals have access to opportunities that promote stability and prosperity, the need for providing financial aids or bounties diminishes. Essentially, the quote argues that addressing root causes of inequalities through systematic changes can create a society where giving alms becomes unnecessary.
