From the March 1906 issue of the Socialist Standard
We never compromise the truth to make a friend, nor withhold a blow at error lest we make an enemy. In firm assurance of final victory, we pursue our course, unswerved by weak desire for temporary advantage. We are ever straightforward and outspoken, believing that in fearless independence of action, our integrity of purpose will, in the end, win the respect and confidence of those whom we aim to weld into a class-conscious, aggressive body. Our propaganda is not alone to educate, but also to organise the workers for the conquest of public power, for the complete overthrow of capitalism. Until that mission is accomplished we will stand like a rock, alert and watchful, yielding to nothing.—Sanial.

Lucien Sanial was a pioneer member of the Socialist Labor Party. He ended up a *checks notes* Labour Fakir.
What's interesting about the quote is that it was just presumed that readers would know who Sanial was. No need to give his full name or a brief bio underneath.
