From the Paper:

"There are many phrases in our culture which we hear daily. These phrases have become so engrained in our society that often we do not consider the full scope of their meaning as they apply to literature, people, or the world around us. The saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink" could be interpreted in various ways. However, the research will demonstrate that it is a statement that centers around aid to others. The statement, or saying, reflects on the concept that we, society, the world, or some higher being can always help someone, but it does not mean that they will take the baton and run with it to make a difference. That difference can be in their own lives, or the lives of others, but it is an element that is no longer in our control."
