“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

“Although a firm swat could bring a recalcitrant child swiftly into line, the changes were usually external, lasting only as long as the swatter remained in view....Permanent transformation had to be internal....The habits of self discipline, as laborious and frustrating as they were to achieve, offered the only real possibility of keeping children safe from their own excesses as well as the omnipresent dangers of society.” WellsChildrenLongRealSelfLinesViewsAchieveDangerPossibilityHabitDisciplineSafeTransformationPermanentFirmInternalsLastingExcessSelf DisciplineFrustratingRecalcitrant Author:Mary Blakely
