The third is freedom from want...everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear... anywhere in the world. The happy ending is our national belief. He who prides himself on giving what he thinks the public wants is often creating a fictitious demand for low standards which he will then satisfy. The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom.
