Won’t and Can’t

Yesterday, I saw the following quote on a t-shirt in a little souvineer shop in Hannibal, Missouri:

A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.

This quote uses a formula that could work for many other verbs, too.   Instead of “read,” you can substitute “think,” “vote,” “empathize,” “speak,” “listen,” or “give a damn.”
