FYI that quote originates neither from Red Hat, nor from Gandhi (the usual misattribution).

Consensus attribution appears to be: Union leader Nicholas Klein in 1914:

> And, my friends, in this story you have a history of this entire movement. First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.




Thumbs up!

Yes, I was aware this quote was from elsewhere... and likely inherits from others as well.

Thank you for sharing.
