Herbert Hoover Quote

“Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he is free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.”

Just say no to the collectivist, social engineers. You cannot squeeze the mind and spirit into a box.

That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest. -- Henry David Thoreau

One star as averse to a thumbs down because with the smallest of a single thread, Hoover here attempts to weave an almost accuracy into "freedom's" entire tapestry. Freedom and liberty are inalienable elements of the noble being man, whether or not, man's inhumanity to man allows the manifestation of such.

Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown

You're not going to possess a mind, inspiration, free decisions by becoming an inanimate object, this being where the emphasis on acquisition of properties leads.  Feelings, ideas, sensitivities, and sensibilities is how we acquire our needs; homes, supplies, travel, friends, and love.
