Quote by Malcolm X
When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire... or preserve his freedom.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of valuing freedom and the lengths one should be willing to go in order to acquire or preserve it. It suggests that a person who truly values freedom will be willing to take any necessary actions to attain it, without making exceptions or setting out conditions. In contrast, if someone claims to desire freedom but is unwilling to make sacrifices or adhere to certain principles, it indicates a lack of genuine belief in or understanding of freedom itself.
