“Ten thousand times has the labor movement stumbled and bruised itself. We have been enjoined by the courts, assaulted by thugs, charged by the militia, traduced by the press, frowned upon in public opinion, and deceived by politicians. 'But notwithstanding all this and all these, labor is today the most vital and potential power this planet has ever known, and its historic mission is as certain of ultimate realization as is the setting of the sun.”
Eugene Debs
“Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good in the world.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The labor movement means just this: It is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth.”
Wendell Phillips
“A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.”
Grover Cleveland
“There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right.”
Bill Cosby
“No labor, however humble, is dishonoring.”
The Talmud
“Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.”
Ulysses S. Grant
