“By living welfare principles, we can develop self-reliance. The welfare program requires
that we develop self-reliance and live providently. Provident living requires
us to develop proper attitudes—a willingness to forego luxuries, to avoid
excess, and to fully use what we have—learning to live within our means.
…Financial need is an important part of welfare, but there are
other equally important essential elements that, through love and compassion,
build self-reliance—emotionally and physically—helping one to be useful and
productive and to be a help.”
Robert D.
