"I'm enormously interested in freedom and retaining..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“The basis of all good human behavior is kindness.”

“If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.”

“Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.”

“East of my bean-field, across the road, lived Cato Ingraham, slave of Duncan Ingraham, Esquire, gentleman, of Concord village, whobuilt his slave a house, and gave him permission to live in Walden Woods;MCato, not Uticensis, but Concordiensis. Some say that he was a Guinea Negro. There are a few who remember his little patch among the walnuts, which he let grow up till he should be old and need them; but a younger and whiter speculator got them at last. He too, however, occupies an equally narrow house at present.”

“I always knew that someday I would once again feel the grass under my feet and walk in the sunshine as a free man.”

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world - no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
