Stran 8 - Stick to your aim ; the mongrel's hold will slip, But only crowbars loose the bulldog's grip ; Small as he looks, the jaw that never yields Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields ! Yet in opinions look not always back ; Your wake is nothing, mind the coming track ; Leave what you 've done for what you have to do ; Don't be "consistent,
Stran 3 - Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side ; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand and the sheep upon the right, And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
Stran 7 - To meet a brother's need, The load we bear would lighten Above the grave of greed. If those who whine would whistle, And those who languish laugh, The rose would rout the thistle. The grain outrun the chaff; If hearts were only jolly, If grieving were forgot, And tears of melancholy Were things that now are not; Then love would kneel to duty, And all the world would seem A bridal bower of beauty, A dream within a dream.
Stran 8 - In speaking of a person's faults, Pray don't forget your own. Remember, those with homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we...
Stran 3 - Resolved, That the American Federation of Labor, in convention assembled...

Stran 12 - The crest and crowning of all good, Life's final star is brotherhood, For it will bring again to earth Her long-lost poesy and mirth ; Will send new light on every face, A kingly power upon the race. And till it come, we men are slaves, And travel downward to the dust of graves.
Stran 14 - It is easy to float in a well-trimmed boat, And point out the places to wade. But once we pass into the shadows, We murmur and fret and frown, And, our length from the bank, we shout for a plank, Or throw up our hands and go down. It is easy to sit in your carriage, And counsel the man on foot, But get down and walk, and you'll change your talk; As you feel the peg in your boot. It is easy to tell the toiler How best he can carry his pack, But no one can rate a burden's weight Until it has been on...
Stran 5 - LIBERTY will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty, it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.
Stran 12 - Break the dead branches from the path; Our hope is in the aftermath — Our hope is in heroic men, Star-led to build the world again. To this Event the ages ran: Make way for Brotherhood — make way for Man ! Help those who help you.
