| It ill behooves one who has supped at labor’s table and who has been sheltered in labor’s house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace. |
| ~ JOHN L. LEWIS, president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), radio broadcast, September 3, 1937.—Vital Speeches of the Day, September 15, 1937, p. 733. The New York Times account said, “The fact that Mr. Lewis did not mention the President by name did not dull the point in the eyes of those who had followed labor developments through the violent days of last Winter and Spring. These observers unanimously accepted this part of his speech as a direct reference to Mr. [Franklin D.] Roosevelt’s invocation of ‘a plague on both your houses’ when the labor unions and steel mill operators were ‘locked in deadly embrace’ only a few months ago.”—September 4, 1937, p. 1. “A plague on both your houses” is from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, act III, scene i, line 112. ~ |

| Three poets, in three distant ages born, Greece, Italy, and England did adorn. The first in loftiness of thought surpass'd; The next, in majesty; in both the last. The force of Nature could no further go; To make a third, she join'd the former two. |
| ~ John Dryden, Under Mr. Milton's Picture. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Western brains work, they work a great deal, but always in the direction of efficiency. In that way the mind puts itself at the service of the result. Like all servants, it renounces its independence. I am talking about another form of spiritual life, more detached and deeper, free from the obsession of a goal to be reached. In a way, the universal invasion of technology, everywhere it goes, lessens the life of the mind. |

| Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by day, in all the thousand, small, uncaring ways. |
