Inspirational Quotations
Christensen is well known for his many inspirational words as a labor leader and speaker. The following are examples:
A true measure of a man is not what he’s achieved for the betterment of himself, but what he’s achieved for the benefit of others.
Like Lincoln stood before the nation, I stand before you with a union divided, like a nation, a union divided can not stand on its own… Divided We Beg!….United We Stand!
I did not start my crusade for truth and accountability at the International to become the General President.

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
