- "If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to
- favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops
- without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and
- lightning. That struggle might be a moral one; it might be a physical

- People might not get all that they work for in this world, but they
- must certainly work for all they get."
