To claim for socialism that it is a class war is to do it an injustice and indefinitely postpone its triumph. Socialism offers a platform broad enough for all to stand upon. It makes war upon a system, not upon a class.

Socialism makes war upon a system not a class…. Labour should capture power, not destroy it.

Women, even more than the working class, is the great unknown quantity of the race.

I now understand what Christ suffered in Gethsemane as well as any man living.

War is the mass murder of workers. When workers refuse to obey the calls of their governments, there will be no more war.

Of late I have felt, with increasing intensity, the injustice inflicted on women by our present laws. The Party is largely my own child and I cannot part from it lightly, or without pain; but at the same time I cannot sever myself from the principles I hold. If it is necessary for me to separate myself from what has been my life's work, I do so in order to remove the stigma resting upon our wives, mothers and sisters of being accounted unfit for citizenship

From his childhood onwards this boy will be surrounded by sycophants and flatterers … In due course, he will be sent on a tour of the world and probably rumors of a morganatic marriage alliance will follow, and the end of it will be the country will be called upon to pay the bill.

It is the moral force which carries a movement forward.
