• The picket line is the best place to train organizers. One day on the picket line is where a man makes his commitment. The longer on the picket line, the stronger the commitment. A lot of workers think they make their commitment by walking off the job when nobody sees them. But you get a guy to walk off the field when his boss is watching and, in front of the other guys, throw down his tools and march right to the picket line, that is the guy who makes our strike. The picket line is a beautiful thing because it makes a man more human.

  Cesar Chavez

• Anger is active sadness; sadness is inactive anger. They are not two things. Watch your own behaviour. When do you find yourself sad? You find yourself sad only in situations where you cannot be angry. The boss in the office says something and you cannot be angry; it is uneconomical. You cannot be angry and you have to go on smiling - then you become sad. The energy has become inactive. You come home, and with your wife you find a small thing, anything irrelevant, and you become angry.

  Rajneesh

  Anger, Home, Sadness

• Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
  About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
  Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
  My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
  Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
  'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

  Eddie Cochran
