“What is a labour victory? I maintain that it is a twofold thing. Workers must gain economic advantage, but they must also gain revolutionary spirit, in order to achieve a complete victory. For workers to gain a few cents more a day, a few minutes less a day, and go back to work with the same psychology, the same attitude toward society is to achieve a temporary gain and not a lasting victory.” InspirationalSpiritOrderAttitudePsychologySocietyEconomicMinutesAchieveRevolutionVictoryGainsAdvantageLaborWorkersFeministRevolutionaryLabourLastingTemporaryCentsBack To WorkOrganized Labor Author:Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
“You need to know what makes artists tick. Having been through the process myself as a musician, since I was an early teen, gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view, because it's about them, it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving, and you're the conduit.” KnowsNeedsArtistProcessUnderstandingViewsVisionAchieveMusicianCapableAdvantagePoint Of ViewTick Author:Tommy Mottola

“I like what Barcelona is doing. This city almost perfectly combines its natural advantages with cultural attractions, IT parks and first-rate educational opportunities. The same applies for Dublin, which manages to achieve a blend of complexity, tolerance and artistry and makes a point of not devoting every part of the city to the tourism industry.

“Margaret Thatcher has one great advantage - she is a daughter of the people and looks trim, as the daughter of the people desire to be. Shirley Williams has such an advantage over her because she's a member of the upper-middle class and can achieve the kitchen-sink revolutionary look that one cannot get unless one has been to a really good school.” PeopleLooksHas BeensSchoolDesireClassMiddleAchieveMembersDaughterAdvantageRevolutionaryKitchenMiddle ClassGood SchoolUpper Middle ClassKitchen Sinks Author:Rebecca West
“Politicians generally form alliances and not friendships. Individuals and institutions achieve their ends through continual barter. But deals are not bonds. Indeed, intense emotional involvement with anything - with issues, ideology, a woman, even a family - can be a handicap, not only consuming valuable time, but more importantly, reducing flexibility and the capacity for detached calculation needed to take maximum advantage of continually changing circumstances.” EndsFormIndividualDealsIssuesAchieveEmotionalNeededPoliticianCircumstancesAdvantageCapacityInstitutionsValuableIntenseIdeologyFlexibilityMaximumInvolvementConsumingReducingAlliancesCalculationsDetachedHandicapsNot FriendsValuable Time Book:Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream Source: Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream

“I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features.
