QUOTES

The labor movement means just this: It is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth.
-- Wendell Phillips

Organize, and stand together. Claim something together, and at once; let the nation hear a united demand from the laboring voice, and then, when you have got that, go on after another; but get something.

"The printing press has done for the mind what gunpowder has done for war."

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

"The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future."

To be as good as our fathers we must be better. Imitation is not discipleship".
