Life comes to the miners out of their deaths, and death out of their lives

I was born in revolution.

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.

I will tell the truth wherever I please.

You ought to be out raising hell. This is the fighting age. Put on your fighting clothes.

The employment of children is doing more to fill prisons, insane asylums, almshouses, reformatories, slums, and gin shops than all the efforts of reformers are doing to improve society.

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.
