Honest labour bears a lovely face. (Thomas Dekker)
It is to labour... and to labour only, that man owes every thing possessed of exchangeable value. Labour is the talisman that has raised him from the condition of the savage - that has changed the desert and the forest into cultivated fields... Labour tho that has covered the earth with cities and the ocean with ships - of wealth that has given us plenty, comfort, and elegance, instead of want, misery, and barbarism. View quote

Jimmy Reid
My Scottish Labour Party is a crusade - to fight poverty, inequality and injustice. (Johann Lamont)

Jacqueline Bisset
WTO is not the forum for labour standards. Next, the U.S. will argue the time zone difference is an unfair competitive advantage enjoyed by India that enables our software engineers to work while the Americans sleep. View quote
Jairam Ramesh
In general, if signs of sectarianism do appear in a Socialist Party, these are only the products of the absence of a broad Labour movement in the country. View quote
