“Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.”

“I will tell the truth wherever I please.”

“Life comes to the miners out of their deaths, and death out of their lives.”

“They began work at 5:30 and quit at 7 at night. Children six years old going home to lie on a straw pallet until time to resume work the next morning!

“Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.”
