The working people know no country. They are citizens of the world.
Where trade unions are most firmly organized, there are the rights of the people most respected.
All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Dayis devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation.
You can't weigh the soul of a man with a bar of pig-iron.
You can't do it unless you organize.
Our movement is of the working people, for the working people, by the working people. . . . There is not a right too long denied to which we do not aspire in order to achieve; there is not a wrong too long endured that we are not determined to abolish.
