Mother Jones may refer to:
My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.
That is, the wife must care for what the husband cares for if he is to remain resolute.
Sometimes it seemed to me I could not look at those silent little figures; that I must go north, to the grim coal fields, to the Rocky Mountain camps, where the labor fight is at least fought by grown men
I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.
All the average human being asks is something he can call a home; a family that is fed and warm; and now and then a little happiness; once in a long while an extravagance.
What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.
I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.
Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.
No matter what the fight, don't be ladylike!
I'm not afraid of the press or the Militia.
I am not unaware that leaders betray, and sell out, and play false.
I hope to live long enough to be the great-grandmother of all agitators.
You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand
And who is responsible for this appalling child slavery? Everyone.
I would fight God Almighty Himself if He didn't play square with me
Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time.
I live in the United States, but I do not know exactly where. My address is wherever there is a fight against oppression. My address is like my shoes; it travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.
Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living
I want you to pledge to yourselves in this convention to stand as one solid army against the foes of human labor. Think of the thousands who are killed every year and there is no redress for it. We will fight until the mines are made secure and human life valued more than props. Look things in the face. Don't' fear a governor; don't fear anybody. You pay the governor; he has the right to protect you. You are the biggest part of the population in the state. You create its wealth, so I say, let the fight go on; if nobody else will keep on, I will.
I want to hold a series of meetings all over the country and get the facts before the American people
