Our language is the reflection of ourselves.
CESAR CHAVEZOur language is the reflection of ourselves.
CESAR CHAVEZThere is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.
CESAR CHAVEZThere’s no reason to be non-violent. There’s no challenge unless you are living for people.
CESAR CHAVEZYou cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
CESAR CHAVEZOrganizing is an educational process. The best educational process in the union is the picket line and the boycott. You learn about life.
CESAR CHAVEZYou are never strong enough that you don’t need help.
CESAR CHAVEZIt is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life.
CESAR CHAVEZSelf dedication is a spiritual experience.
CESAR CHAVEZIn giving of yourself, you will discover a whole new life full of.
CESAR CHAVEZWhat is at stake is human dignity. If a man is not accorded respect he cannot respect himself and if he does not respect himself, he cannot demand it.
CESAR CHAVEZWe have looked into the future and the future is ours.
CESAR CHAVEZThere’s no turning back. We will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.
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.
CESAR CHAVEZIf we are full of hatred, we can’t really do our work. Hatred saps all that strength and energy we need to plan.
CESAR CHAVEZYou know, if people are not pacifists, it’s not their fault. It’s because society puts them in that spot. You’ve got to change it. You don’t just change a man – you’ve got to change his environment as you do it.
CESAR CHAVEZWe’ll organize workers in this movement as long as we’re willing to sacrifice. The moment we stop sacrificing, we stop organizing.
