—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
