I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.
Mother Jones I 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. Mother Jones I 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! Mother Jones I 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. Mother Jones I preferred sewing to bossing little children. Mother Jones I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser. Mother Jones If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class! Mother Jones Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time. Mother Jones My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong. Mother Jones My teachers treated me as a diamond in the rough, someone who needed smoothing. Mother Jones Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living. Mother Jones Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit! Mother Jones That is, the wife must care for what the husband cares for if he is to remain resolute. Mother Jones The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win. Mother Jones Whatever your fight, don't be ladylike. Mother Jones |
