Quote #3 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and Democracy
“On the side of the laborers there is physical strength, for they are more numerous than their opponents. They are also fast losing that reverence for their opponents which was and is the source of their power, and they are daily acquiring a moral strength which results from a common interest and a close and intimate union.”
