A mortgaged home, an empty stomach and a ragged back know no party. We will live to write the epitaphs of the old parties: Died of general debility, old age, and chronic falsehoods.

More quotes by Mary Elizabeth Lease
Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, for the people and by the people, but a government for Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master…Let the bloodhounds of money who have dogged us thus far beware.
Mary Elizabeth Lease
We want the accursed foreclosure system wiped out.... We will stand by our homes and stay by our firesides by force if necessary, and we will not pay our debts to the loan-shark companies until the government pays its debts to us.
Mary Elizabeth Lease
An organized effort is making to deceive the people. There are two great enemies of thought and progress, the aristocracy of royalty and the aristocracy of gold.
