We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.
CESAR CHAVEZThose who are willing to sacrifice and be of service have very little difficulty with people. They know what they are all about. People can’t help but want to be near them. They help them; they work with them. That’s what love is all about. It starts with your heart and radiates out.
