I hope to live long enough to be the great-grandmother of all agitators.

I am Mother Jones. The Government can't take my life and you can't take my arm, but you can take my suitcase.

I'm not afraid of the press or the Militia.

I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.

I am not unaware that leaders betray, and sell out, and play false.

My friends, it is solidarity of labor we want. We do not want to find fault with each other, but to solidify our forces and say to each other: We must be together; our masters are joined together and we must do the same thing.

Men's hearts are cold. They are indifferent.
