The scaffold has never yet and never will destroy an idea or a movement Picture Quote #1

The road to death is a lonely highway, and longer than it apears, even when it leads straight down from the scaffold, by way of a rope; and it’s a dark road, with never any moon shining on it, to light your way Picture Quote #1

If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class! Picture Quote #1

Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then Picture Quote #1

There is a deeper pleasure in following truth to the scaffold or the cross, than in joining the multitudinous retinue, and mingling our shouts with theirs, when victorious error celebrates its triumphs Picture Quote #1

Women have the right to mount the scaffold; they should likewise have the right to mount the rostrum Picture Quote #1

The patient man is merry indeed... The jailers that watch him are but his pages of honour, and his very dungeon but the lower side of the vault of heaven. He kisseth the wheel that must kill him; and thinks the stairs of the scaffold of his martyrdom but so many degrees of his ascent to glory. The tormentors are weary of him. the beholders have pitty on him, all men wonder at him; and while he seems below all men, below himself, he is above nature. He hath so overcome hlmself that nothing can conquer him Picture Quote #1

Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then Picture Quote #1

One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of an old arcade without meeting an instrument of time. Time is visible in all places. Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all Picture Quote #1

I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please Picture Quote #1

When one puts up a building one makes an elaborate scaffold to get everything into its proper place. But when one takes the scaffold down, the building must stand by itself with no trace of the means by which it was erected. That is how a musician should work Picture Quote #1

The law which attempts a man’s life is impractical, unjust, inadmissible. It has never repressed crime - for a second crime is every day committed at the foot of the scaffold Picture Quote #1

Pardon, gentles all, the flat unraised spirits that have dared on this unworthy scaffold to bring forth so great an object Picture Quote #1

Idealists and reformers all become executioners in their turn. The road to utopia ends with the steps of the scaffold, the endless moment of the guillotine Picture Quote #1
