Quote #6 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Masters and The Masses
“Too long have the workers of the world waited for some Moses to lead them out of bondage. He has not come; he never will come. I would not lead you out if I could; for if you could be led out, you could be led back again.... I would have you make up your minds that there is nothing that you cannot do for yourselves.”
