The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win. | | 101Whatever your fight, don't be ladylike. | | 102If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class! | Freedom | 103I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone. | Alone | 104Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit! | | 105I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser. | | 106Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time. | | 107I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please. | Truth | 108My teachers treated me as a diamond in the rough, someone who needed smoothing. | | 109I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don't need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice! | | 110I preferred sewing to bossing little children. | | 111Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living. | | 112My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong. | | 113That is, the wife must care for what the husband cares for if he is to remain resolute. | | 114I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be the vicarious sufferer for the wrongs that others do. | | 115 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
