—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
