Edward Mclean Stewart: Bottom row, far right

Brooklyn Dodger: Ebbets Field, NY

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

"You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

"You cannot lift the wage earned by pulling down the wage-payer.

"You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.

"You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.

"You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

Abraham Lincoln

Sonnet 22

"Not marble, nor the gilded monuments of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme. But you shall shine more bright in these contents than unwept stone besmeared with sluttish time. When wasteful wars shall broils overturn, and root the work of masonry. Nor Mars his sword, nor war's quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory. Till death and all oblivious enmity shall you pace forth, your praise still in the eyes of all posterity that wear this world out to an ending doom. So, till the moment that yourself arise, you live in this and dwell in lover's eyes."

William Shakespeare
