You Can't Do It Unless You Organize.

To Be Free, The Workers Must Have Choice. To Have Choice They Must Retain In Their Own Hands The Right To Determine Under What Conditions They Will Work.

So Long As We Have Held Fast To Voluntary Principles And Have Been Actuated And Inspired By The Spirit Of Service, We Have Sustained Our Forward Progress, And We Have Made Our Labor Movement Something To Be Respected And Accorded A Place In The Councils Of The Republic. Where We Have Blundered Into Trying To Force A Policy Or Decision, Even Though Wise And Right, We Have Impeded If Not Interrupted The Realization Of Our Own Aims.

[the Labor Movement Is] A Movement Of The Working People, For The Working People, By The Working People, Governed By Ourselves, With Its Policies Determined By Ourselves.

Workingmen Are At The Foundation Of Society. Show Me That Product Of Human Endeavor In The Making Of Which The Workingman Has Had No Share, And I Will Show You Something That Society Can Well Dispense With.

The Working People Know No Country. They Are Citizens Of The World.
