Cesar Chavez
We are confident. We have ourselves. We know how to sacrifice. We know how to work. We know how to combat the forces that oppose us. But even more than that, we are true believers in the whole idea of justice. Justice is so much on our side, that that is going to see us through.
Cesar Chavez
Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it.
Cesar Chavez
