“Exercise your right to vote.”

Our society is connecting workers with the products people consume and recognizing workers for their contributions. It is important to do that, and to have organized labor – a middle class – to preserve our democracy.

I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That’s the important thing.

That’s the history of the world. His story is told, hers isn’t.

I am happy to see that, increasingly, people care about farm workers. There is tremendous interest in where and how our food is grown.

Employers able to work together with workers and sharing gains and profits will lead to a much better world, getting away from income inequality.

Once you see the outcomes and the results, and you see how many people are helped and benefitting, you want to keep on doing it because it’s so simple.

I’m glad that the fact that people are still getting poisoned by pesticide drift is gaining attention.

Once I learned about grassroots organizing, I got so enamored with it because I thought ‘Wow this is the way you do it!’

We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things. That is what we are put on the earth for.

Why is it that farmworkers feed the nation but they can’t get food stamps?

I call myself an addicted organizer.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

The thing about nonviolence is that it spreads. When you get people to participate in nonviolent action – whether it’s a fast, a march, a boycott, or a picket line – people hear you, people see you, people are learning from that action.

We can’t let people drive wedges between us, because there’s only one human race.

Don’t be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk. Stop being vegetables. Work for Justice. Viva the boycott!

To look and feel my best, I watch my calories and exercise.

Whenever I feel the need to take some exercise I lie down until the feeling goes away.

A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.

Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.

Exercise is the key not only to physical health but to peace of mind.

Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
