Most income of the rich and super rich is the result of speculation, usury, and theft of the product of labor. Every mathematical study of the American economy verifies these simple facts. The rich and super rich are superfluous to society, they're irrelevant, they do nothing that can't be done without them.--Danny S, Yahoo comment to the story "The Poor Should Stop Whining, Says Luxury CEO"
Patience is the companion of wisdom.—Saint Augustine
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.--George Santayana
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even tacitly take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.—Mario Savio
The Civil Rights movement just burst on the United States right on the tube. We saw images of young people being attacked by dogs, by powerful water-cannons. And they faced their fears, they overcame their fear by holding one another. That was a lesson that what we need, the strength that we need, we can find in one another. It is, of course, an image of great courage, and I have not had to face the kinds of things that those people had to face. But if they were willing to face that, then I felt by that very thing both shamed and inspired to do what I could do. And to take the lesson of holding one another as a way it could be done.—Mario Savio
We must do what we conceive to be the right thing, and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we are going to be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we'll be doing the wrong thing, and we will just be part of the disease, and not a part of the cure.—E.F. Schumacher
I spoke of wings.....you just flew!—Mike Scott, song lyric from "The Whole of The Moon" by the Waterboys

Pete Seeger (1919 - 2014)

Technology will save us if it doesn't wipe us out first.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist
I like to say I'm more conservative than Goldwater. He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist
I'm gonna invoke the First Amendment, the right of freedom of association...We're all Americans. We can associate with whoever we want to, and it doesn't matter who we associate with.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist to the House Committee on Un-American Activities, August 1955
Some may find them merely diverting melodies. Others may find them incitements to Red revolution. And who will say if either or both is wrong? Not I.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist
I believe God is everywhere.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist
There is hope for the world.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist, from "The Power Of Song" (2007)

My job is to show folks there's a lot of good music in this world, and if used right it may help to save the planet.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist (2009)
Suppose they’re working you so hard it’s just outrageous,
They’re paying you all starvation wages;
You go to the boss, and the boss would yell,
"Before I'd raise your pay I’d see you all in Hell."
Well, he’s puffing a big see-gar and feeling mighty slick,
He thinks he’s got your union licked.
He looks out the window, and what does he see
But a thousand pickets, and they all agree
He’s a bastard - unfair - slave driver -
Bet he beats his own wife.
—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist, from "Talking Union" (1941)

I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it. But if by some freak of history communism had caught up with this country, I would have been one of the first people thrown in jail.—Pete Seeger, folksinger, songwriter, activist, pacifist, and humanist (1995)

Too often man becomes clever instead of becoming wise, he becomes inventive but not thoughtful--and sometimes...he can create himself right out of existence.—Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone (closing of "The Brain Center at Whipple's")
You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live.—William Shakespeare
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.—William Shakespeare
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.—George Bernard Shaw

To quote scripture, from First Thessalonians, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” That’s what a union does.— Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO (2021)
Together, we leverage the power of our movement to raise standards for all.— Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO (2021)
Voting in a union election is one of the greatest forms of democracy in the workplace.— Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO (2022)
Just getting by often takes an act of heroism.— Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO (2016)
Together, the labor movement and our faith partners are the most powerful forces for progress in the United States—not just for union members—for everyone. Industry by industry, sector by sector, in factories, mines and mills, we challenged the inhumane pace of production. We created safety standards. We transformed grim, dangerous work into good, sustainable union jobs. The pay, benefits and security of a good, union job are life-changing. And the best way to close wage gaps and fight discrimination at work is with a union card. That’s what we celebrate on Labor Day: The contributions of working people to American prosperity. And the innovations from the labor movement—like the 8-hour workday and the weekend and Labor Day itself—that raise the standards for everyone. Because this isn’t just about unions. It’s about fairness, it’s about the fundamental economic power of working people in the United States. It’s about the fundamental human right that all people are treated with dignity and respect in the workplace. It’s about progress like raising the federal minimum wage from the pathetic, current $7.25 to $15. If we did, it would be a raise for 40% of Black women. It’s about the entire community—work connects all of us—and good, union jobs means support for local schools, businesses and opportunities.— Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO (2021)

Nothing can harm a good man, either in life or after death.—Socrates
Let him who would move the world first move himself.—Socrates

Let workers decide if they want to be divided from the other
union members in their industry so that each union makes its own deals with
employers instead of uniting workers' strength - or be part of one, powerful,
industry-based movement.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Today I send this message to every emerging global corporation: "justice; family, community, and union" are the same in every language and, wherever you go and whatever you do, a new global labor movement is coming to find you.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Today's global corporations have no permanent home, recognize no national borders, and salute no flag but their own corporate logo and take their money to anywhere where they can make the most--and pay the least... So today I am asking you, SEIU’s 21st century leaders, to decide to go where no union has ever gone before to authorize SEIU to pursue alliances that will build the first truly global union in world history.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
We can bring to earth a new world from the ashes of the old because our union transforms us the powerless into the powerful. And I ask you to join together in using all that power--all that strength to make the dreams of all workers and communities around the world come true.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Unions have been the best anti-poverty program that actually worked and did not cost the government a dime. But as unions grow smaller- not stronger- our ability to act as an economic mechanism to distribute the gains of our work and raise all workers' wages and benefits up is disappearing.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Our future is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Those who do not want dramatic change have adopted the language but not the substance of change. They have learned the words -- "crisis," "change," "growth," "organizing," and "politics" -- but they are standing in the way of real action. They are faking change instead of making change.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
We may have lost the first skirmish but we have built a mighty army for change.—Andy Stern, SEIU President
Once, a union job at GM or AT&T was a bridge to success. Now, a nonunion Wal-Mart job is a bridge to nowhere.—Andy Stern, SEIU President

If you expect to see the final results of your work, you simply have not asked a big enough question.—I.F. Stone, journalist
The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you're going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins.—I.F. Stone, journalist
Those machines had kept going as long as we could remember. When we finally pulled the switch and there was some quiet, I finally remembered something... that I was a human being, that I could stop those machines, that I was better than those machines anytime.—Striking machine worker
What is economics? A science invented by the upper class in order to acquire the fruits of the labor of the underclass.—August Strindberg, 1884

John Sweeney
When fewer workers have unions, the standard of
living falls for everyone and the gap between the rich and poor grows.—John
Sweeney, 2003
As it has over the decades, the union movement stands for the fundamental moral values that make America strong: quality education for our children, affordable health care for every person—not just some—an end to poverty, secure pensions and wages that enable families to sustain the middle-class life that has fueled this nation’s prosperity and strength. Union members and other working family activists don’t just vote our moral values—we live them. We fight for them, day in, day out. Our commitment to economic and social justice propels us and everything we do.—John Sweeney, November 2004
We believe hard work nourishes the soul and should nourish the body and support the family as well. We believe every one of us has an equal claim to the prosperity of America. And that it’s our job to ensure a better life for the generations that come after us.—John Sweeney, November 2004
I think the greedy corporate owners have to be confronted with the fact that they are ignoring their most powerful resource -- their workers.—John Sweeney, 1995
There is a growing consensus that Globalization must now be reshaped to reflect values broader than simply the freedom of capital.—John Sweeney
Clearly, the Global Economy isn't working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States.—John Sweeney
We can no longer allow multi-nationalists to parade as agents of progress and democracy in the newspapers, even as they subvert it at the workplace.—John Sweeney
We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our Middle Class and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that Middle Class.—John Sweeney

When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.—Jonathan Swift
Our cause is a common one. It is war between poverty and wealth. … This moneyed power is fast eating up the substance of the people. We have made war upon it, and we mean to win it. If we can, we will win through the ballot box; if not, then we shall resort to sterner means.—William Sylvis
