“The party belongs to the millions of the rank and file. It does not belong to the handful of politicians who have assumed fraudulently to upset the will of the rank and file. The action of these men is in no sense "regular," as they claim it to be.... theft and dishonesty cannot give and never shall give a title to regularity.”

“No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort.”
More on Equality
“When quarrels and complaints arise, it is when people who are equal have not got equal shares, or vice-versa.”
“Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half.”
“I think that we must face the fact that in reality, you cannot have economic and political equality without having some form of social equality. I think this is inevitable.”
More on Opportunity
“Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, and determination. The road ahead is long and difficult, but it’s filled with opportunity. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Don’t give up.”
“Where you start in the marketplace is not where you have to stay.”
“More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind.”
