The more that social democracy develops, grows, and becomes stronger, the more the enlightened masses of workers will take their own destinies, the leadership of their movement, and the determination of its direction into their own hands.

The working classes in every country only learn to fight in the course of their struggles.

The most revolutionary act is a clear view of the world as it really is.

There is no democracy without socialism, and no socialism without democracy.

Capitalism, as a result of its own inner contradictions, moves toward a point when it will be unbalanced, when it will simply become impossible.

Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.

Social democracy.. is only the advance guard of the proletariat, a small piece of the total working masses; blood from their blood, and flesh from their flesh.
