Lá Lúnasa / 1st August


D'fhiafraíos de dhuine i bpríosún uair amháin conas a ráinig dó a bheith ann agus ar seisean, 'Ghoideas péire bróg.' Arsa mise leis, dá mbeadh sé tar éis iarnród a ghoid go mbeadh sé ina Sheanadóir de chuid na Stát Aontaithe. (Mary Harris Jones).

                                                                     

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.
