We do not need to kill or destroy to win. We are a movement that builds and not destroys.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
We are convinced that non-violence is more powerful than violence. We are convinced that non-violence supports you if you have a just and moral cause...If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle.
Cesar Chavez
Image
There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.

We shall strike. We shall organize boycotts. We shall demonstrate and have political campaigns. We shall pursue the revolution we have proposed. We are sons and daughters of the farm workers' revolution, a revolution of the poor seeking bread and justice.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
There's no turning back...We will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.
Cesar Chavez
Image
We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.
Cesar Chavez
Image
If we are full of hatred, we can't really do our work. Hatred saps all that strength and energy we need to plan.
Cesar Chavez
Image
When you have people together who believe in something very strongly - whether it's religion or politics or unions - things happen.
Cesar Chavez
Image
I think one of the great, great problems...is confusing people to the point where they become immobile. In fact, the more things people can find out for themselves, the more vigor the organization is going to have.
Cesar Chavez

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
I've always maintained that it isn't the form that's going to make the difference. It isn't the rule or the procedure or the ideology, but it's human beings that will make it.

Years of misguided teaching have resulted in the destruction of the best in our society, in our cultures and in the environment.
