God gives burdens; also shoulders.
Jimmy Carter cited this Jewish saying in his concession speech
at the end of the 1980 election. At least he said it was a Jewish

though; why would he lie about a thing like that?

Freebsd Fortunes 3: 1880 of 2182 |
God has intended the great to be great and the little to be little...
The trade unions, under the European system, destroy liberty [...] I do
not mean to say that a dollar a day is enough to support a workingman...
not enough to support a man and five children if he insists on smoking
and drinking beer. But the man who cannot live on bread and water is
not fit to live! A family may live on good bread and water in the
morning, water and bread at midday, and good bread and water at night!
-- Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
