Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    Not being able to control events, I control myself; and I adapt myself to them, if they do not adapt themselves to me.

    The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.
