I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.
The seed of revolution is repression.
There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.
He is not a true man of the world who knows only the present fashions of it.
Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
