Eugene V. Debs

Gdyby nie nieukontentowanie garstki osób, które nie były zadowolone ze swoich warunków, nadal żyłbyś w jaskiniach. Inteligentne niezadowolenie jest głównym motorem cywilizacji. Postęp rodzi się z agitacji. Jest agitacja lub stagnacja.

If it had not been for the discontent of a few fellows who had not been satisfied with their conditions, you would still be living in caves. Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization. Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation.

The rights of one are as sacred as the rights of a million.

When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong. The minority are right.

I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.
