Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

Both of them mean that Labor has no rights which Capital is bound to respect,—that there is no higher law than human interest and cupidity.

Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it;
We are happy now because God wills it.

Laborin' man an' laborin' woman Hev one glory an' one shame;
Ev'y thin' thet's done inhuman Injers all on 'em the same.

That love for one, from which there doth not spring Wide love for all, is but a worthless thing. - James Russell Lowell
