WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Eric Hoffer</b></a></p><blockquote>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The real “haves” are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, the real “have nots” are those who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.</blockquote><p><b>Eric Hoffer</b> (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman<br><i>Passionate State of Mind</i>, Aphorism 115 (1955)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=erichoffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>erichoffer</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=confidence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>confidence</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=makers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>makers</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=poor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poor</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=potential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>potential</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=riches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>riches</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfreliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfreliance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=takers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>takers</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wealthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealthy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=zerosumgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zerosumgame</span></a></p>
