"Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery." ― Frank Herbert Topic(s): Freedom More From Frank Herbert "If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual." "When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual." "How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him." More In Freedom "I wasn’t a woman who stayed tiny like I thought I would. I definitely gave myself the freedom to eat what I wanted."― Jennifer Garner "I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love."― Mitt Romney "Really big people are, above everything else, courteous, considerate and generous – not just to some people in some circumstances – but to everyone all the time."― Thomas J. Watson
