Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race or nation.

Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens.

Where trade unions are most firmly organized, there are the rights of the people most respected.

The trade union movement represents the organized economic power of the workers... It is in reality the most potent and the most direct social insurance the workers can establish.

It is impossible for capitalists and laborers to have common interests.
