Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit!

I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don't need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice!

I am not blind to the shortcomings of our own people.

You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand

All the average human being asks is something he can call a home; a family that is fed and warm; and now and then a little happiness; once in a long while an extravagance.

I will tell the truth wherever I please.
