"Get it right, I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser." "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." "No matter what the fight, don't be ladylike! God almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies." "My address is like my shoes: it travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong." "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." "If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class!" "I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please." |
