    “Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    ““A baby’s crying!
    Frantic it sounds, though muffled and far off.
    Its mother wouldn’t let it cry like that,
    Not if she’s there.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don’t need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice!”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
