Thinking about our nation...

"Freedom is an open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity. With the preservation of these moral and spiritual qualities and with God's grace will come further greatness for our country."

-- President Herbert Hoover

I wonder what he meant the "moral and spiritual qualities" which needed to be preserved were?

The only thing I know for certain is that only by God's grace is any person, let alone a nation, able to achieve anything considered even close to "greatness".
