We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk.

When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted

You in the unions do not yet represent all of labor. But I hope some day you will, because I believe that it is through strength, through the fact that people who know what people need are working to make this country a better place for all people, that we will help the world to accept our leadership and understand that, under our form of government and through our way of life, we have something to offer them.

Courage is exhilarating.

More people are ruined by victory, I imagine, than be defeat.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.

I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about.
