“I quit because I can’t stand seeing kids come to class hungry and needing shoes. I thought I could do more by organizing farm workers than by trying to teach their hungry children.”

A women’s place in history has never been given the attention that it needs to be given, and that’s why we have a lot of the misogyny in our society today.

We criticize and separate ourselves from the process. We’ve got to jump right in there with both feet.

Every minute a chance to change the world.

Honor the hands that harvest your crops.

We have to get back down to basics. We have to start organizing at the neighborhood level to get people educated to vote.

Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.

We need to keep ringing the bell, wake people up to get our democracy together. Farm workers are like a symbol, and it is good that people are paying attention.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It’s a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!

If we can just convince other people to get involved, this could make some major changes in our society. It’s very exhilarating.

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.

We know that a peaceful world cannot long exist, one-third rich and two-thirds hungry.

Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.

Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.

There is no substitute for hardwork. Always be humble and hungry.

How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.

Always asked, ‘Whats the key to success?’ The key is, there is no key. Be humble, hungry and always be the hardest worker in the room.

If you’ve ever been hungry, you can never be full.

I still drink vodka; I’m not an advocate of drinking, but I’m no angel. I don’t like grass, because it just makes me hungry.
