QUOTES
Civil
Rights
Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts
and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants.
It is the right which they first of all strike down.
Justice
/ Poverty
Where justice
is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any
one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress,
rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Freedom
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want
crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning;
they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a
moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.
Hope
"Be not discouraged. There is a future for you. . . . The resistance encountered
now predicates hope. . . "
Human
Rights
No class of men can, without insulting their own nature, be content
with any deprivation of their rights.
Labor
People might not get all that they work for in this world, but they must certainly
work for all that they get.
Perseverence
"What is possible for me is possible for you."
