About This Quote
The motto, “The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry”, was written by the American journalist John T. Flynn. He said this in a speech delivered at the University of Chicago in 1951. He talked about how people believe that today’s society is one where people are free to do anything they want.
This is not true. People are not free to do what they want without worrying about their future.
