More quotes by Cesar Chavez
Grant me courage to serve others For in service there is true life.
Cesar Chavez
In non-violence the cause has to be just and clear as well as the means.
Cesar Chavez
Non violence means people in action. People have to understand that with non-violence goes a hell of a lot of organization.
Cesar Chavez
Who gets the risks? The risks are given to the consumer, the unsuspecting consumer and the poor work force. And who gets the benefits? The benefits are only for the corporations, for the money makers.
Cesar Chavez
Being of service is not enough. You must become a servant of the people. When you do, you can demand their commitment in return.
Cesar Chavez
We are tired of words, of betrayals, of indifference...they years are gone when the farm worker said nothing an did nothing to help himself...Now we have new faith. Through our strong will, our movement is changing these conditions...We shall be heard.
Cesar Chavez
Our union represents a breaking away...represents sharing a power, represent questioning, represents a new force...however long it takes, we are geared for a struggle.
Cesar Chavez
The love for justice that is in us is not only the best part of our being but it is also the most true to our nature.
Cesar Chavez
In this world it is possible to achieve great material wealth, to live an opulent life. But a life built upon those things alone leaves a shallow legacy. In the end, we will be judged by other standards.
Cesar Chavez
Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. Cesar Chavez Address to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Nov. 9, 1984
Cesar Chavez
Money is not going to organize the disadvantaged, the powerless, or the poor. We need other weapons. That's why the War on Poverty is such a miserable failure. You put out a big pot of money and all you do is fight over it. Then you run out of money and you run out of troops.
Cesar Chavez
Self dedication is a spiritual experience.
Cesar Chavez
Concentration is inspiration. You must be completely overtaken by your work and your subject. Only then do all your influences and experience come up to the surface.
Cesar Chavez
We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.
Cesar Chavez
I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry and unhappy like we do. I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings.
Cesar Chavez
In the final analysis it doesn't really matter what the political system is...We don't need perfect political systems we need perfect participation.
Cesar Chavez
When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick.
Cesar Chavez
History will judge societies and governments - and their institutions - not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless.
Cesar Chavez
The thing that we have going for us is that people are willing to sacrifice themselves.
Cesar Chavez
There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.
Cesar Chavez
