    “The manufacturing corporation, except in comparatively few instances, no longer represents a protecting care, a parental influence, over its operatives.

    —Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)

    “The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
