gptkbp:famous_quote |
" The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, and they are the sovereign."
" Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." " I would rather be a man of conviction than a man of convenience." You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. The cause of labor is the cause of all mankind. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. “ The people are the masters of their own destiny.” “ You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.” “ I would rather be right than president.” “ The Cross of Gold speech is the greatest speech ever delivered.” |
