“God sells us all things at the price of labor.”

“We in this room have no private properties. Perhaps one or two of us may own the homes we live in, or have a dollar or two set aside - but we own nothing that does not contribute directly toward keeping us alive. All that we own is our bodies. And we sell our bodies every day we live. We sell them when we go out in the morning to our jobs and when we labor all day. We are forced to sell at any price, at any time, for any purpose. We are forced to sell our bodies so that we can eat and live. And the price which is given us for this is only enough so that we will have the strength to labor longer for the profits of others. Today we are not put up on platforms and sold at the courthouse square. But we are forced to sell our strength, our time, our souls during almost every hour that we live. We have been freed from one kind of slavery only to be delivered into another. Is this freedom? Are we yet free men?”

“Labor omnia vincit! "Labor conquers all things!”

“He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.”

“I try not to sell myself short, unless I’m giving myself a great price on the stuff.”

“The saddest thing about selling out is just how cheaply most of us do it for.”
