Famous quotes containing the words free and/or labor:
“I believe that man is in the last resort so free a being that his right to be what he believes himself to be cannot be contested.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
