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.

Across the San Joaquin Valley, across California, across the entire Southwest of the United States, wherever there are Mexican people, wherever there are farm workers, our movement is spreading like flames across a dry plain.

Cesar Chavez

Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things.
Cesar Chavez

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

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people.
Cesar Chavez

You are never strong enough that you don't need help.
Cesar Chavez
Image
In 1968, I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry, and unhappy like we do.
Cesar Chavez
Image
The people who give you their food give you their heart.
Cesar Chavez

There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.
