"Too often rich and poor alike shut their hearts to the divine attributes
of love and compassion. The rich languish in their abundance and
justify turning the poor away as 'welfare cases.' The poor are likewise
entrapped, becoming dependent on others in a system destined to trample
initiative, undermine family responsibility, foster divisiveness, and erect barriers to equity, opportunity, and fellowship."
Elder Robert D. Hales, "Welfare Principles To Guide Our Lives: An Eternal Plan For The Welfare of Men's Souls," General Conference April 1986
