The prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land, for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This, say its advocates, is free labor-the just and generous, and prosperous system, which opens the way for all-gives hope to all, and energy, and progress, and improvement of condition to all. ✨ Abraham Lincoln, Mario Matthew Cuomo, G. S. Boritt (2004). Lincoln on Democracy, p.161, Fordham Univ Press
