Yes, I am my brother's keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow beings starving to death?

I would rather a thousand times be a free soul in jail than to be a sycophant and coward in the streets.

The protection the government owes you and fails to provide, you are morally bound to provide for yourselves.

I'd rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don't want, and get it.

Every one of the aristocratic conspirators and would-be murderers claims to be an arch-patriot; every one of them insists that the war is being waged to make the world safe for democracy. What humbug! What rot! What false pretense! These... tyrants, these red-handed robbers and murderers, the "patriots," while the men who have the courage to stand face to face with them, speak the truth, and fight for their exploited victims - they are [called] the disloyalists and traitors. If this be true, I want to take my place side by side with the traitors in this fight.

The most heroic word in all languages is REVOLUTION.

I would no more teach children military training than teach them arson, robbery, or assassination.
