Bill Bailey (Spanish Civil War veteran) (1910–1995) American labor activist
Context: Well, first of all, if you’re not—if you’ve never been on a soap box, it’s sort of awkward.

And the second one comes out a little bit easier, after you get the word “Fellow-worker”, you know, out of your mouth—that’s the way it is. Then, bit by bit, you start warming up.
