Thread: Anyone here know this quote?

Friends,

I'm looking for a quote I think I heard long ago. I'm not sure exactly how it goes and I do not know the source.

I'm hoping some of you can help me locate the actual quote and source.

it goes something like this.

If you want to destroy a man, take his job.

or

If you want to kill a man, take his job.

or

Take a man's job and you have already destroy/killed him?

I hope some of you can help me figure this one out.

Not sure about that one, W.

But there is a good quote from Soren Kierkegaard we might find helpful:
"When you label me, you negate me."

I have heard it before. I'll asked around.

Haven't found it but enjoying the research.

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
You can have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power.
