"All Humanity," 1911

Debs in the Texas Socialist newspaper "The Rebel"

The thoughts that breathe and burn are the loving and inspiring thoughts that encircle the world and embrace all humanity…..

Love is service, the joy of service is consecration, and the crowning of consecration is immortality…..

The greatest souls spring from the greatest struggles. Only they who have lost all find all; only they know the joy of triumph and the grace of exaltation…..

The Rebel and its slogan, courtesy of the Irish leftist James Larkin.

Every homeless brother challenges the validity of my title; every sorrowing sister rebukes my Christless complacency, and every neglected child smites my conscience in the name of Humanity…..

Not until all are fed are any fed; not until all are shel­tered are any sheltered ; not until all are free are any free; not until are civilized are any civilized…..

All humanity is one and Socialism is for all humanity, therefore I am for Socialism with all the blood in my veins and all the passion of my soul .............

Socialism – Socialism, the noblest thought, the divinest impulse, the supremest aspiration, the most thrilling and far-sounding battle-cry of all history will be the glory of All Humanity.
