Quote of Note: Robert Ingersoll


"With the idea that labor is the basis of progress goes the thought that labor must be free."
---
What light is to the eyes --
what air is to the lungs --
what love is to the heart,
liberty is to the soul of man.
Without liberty, the brain is a dungeon,
where the chained thoughts die with their pinions
pressed against the hingeless doors."


Robert G. Ingersoll
American lawyer, orator, statesman, 1948
