Agitating

Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation – the one is life, the other death.
- Ernestine Rose

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
- Frederick Douglass

Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.
- Ovid

Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation.
- Eugene V. Debs
