"Prosperity is the fruit of labor. It..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I failed, I failed, and that is about all that can be said about it.”

“Democracy is "government of, by and for the people".”

“Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself”

“Real integrity stays in place whether the test in adversity or prosperity.”

“Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties.[Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]”

“This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.”

“What the working man sells is not directly his Labor, but his Laboring Power, the temporary disposal of which he makes over to the capitalist. This is so much the case that I do not know whether by the English Law, but certainly by some Continental Laws, the maximum time is fixed for which a man is allowed to sell his laboring power. If allowed to do so for any indefinite period whatever, slavery would be immediately restored. Such a sale, if it comprised his lifetime, for example, would make him at once the lifelong slave of his employer.”

“In war," answered the weaver, "the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor. We must work to live, and they give us such mean wages that we die. We toil for them all day long, and they heap up gold in their coffers, and our children fade away before their time, and the faces of those we love become hard and evil. We tread out the grapes, another drinks the wine. We sow the corn, and our own board is empty. We have chains, though no eye beholds them; and are slaves, though men call us free.”

“A true and nonviolent combination of labour would act like a magnet attracting to it all the needed capital.”
