Label Quotations
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
Barack Obama
Once you label me you negate me.
Soren Kierkegaard
I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
Jackie Robinson
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
William Glasser
It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.
Margaret Mead
There is a tremendous range of children with a PDD label.
Temple Grandin
We were not given any statistics as to how many records were pressed on the blue label. I used to ask Bob Shad how we were going to get paid from record sales and what I got for an answer was not to worry about the business end of the deal.
Phil Harris
I realize now that I was a feminist and the minute I heard the word I certainly knew it meant me, but at that time I don't think we had the label yet. But there's no doubt about it that I was born a feminist.
Marlo Thomas
All you needed was a couple of instruments and a few chords and you could be on an indie label.
David Byrne
But I'm real conscious about what I do. I don't care what the label is. I'm looking at the outcome of it.
Mike Epps
