General Strike Called

Famous quotes containing the words general, strike and/or called:

    You have lived longer than I have and perhaps may have formed a different judgment on better grounds; but my observations do not enable me to say I think integrity the characteristic of wealth. In general I believe the decisions of the people, in a body, will be more honest and more disinterested than those of wealthy men.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    If you address a ghost as “Thing!”
    Or strike him with a hatchet,
    He is permitted by the King
    To drop all formal parleying—
    And then you’re sure to catch it!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Man
    You beheld the saddest and dreariest of all the flowers of the earth
    And as with other flowers you gave it a name
    You called it Thought.
    Jacques Prévert (1900–1977)
