More quotes by Cesar Chavez
We are certain God's will is that all men share in the good things this earth produces.
Cesar Chavez
In 1968, I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry, and unhappy like we do.
Cesar Chavez
Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people.
Cesar Chavez
it is clearly evident that our path travels through a valley of teas well known to all farm workers, because in all valleys the way of the farm worker has bene one of sacrifice for generations. Our sweat and our blood have fallen on this land to make other men rich. This Pilgrimage is a witness to the suffering we have seen for generations.
Cesar Chavez
We know we cannot defend to be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them - exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.
Cesar Chavez
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
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
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
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
The people who give you their food give you their heart.
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
There's no turning back...We will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.
Cesar Chavez
The end of all knowledge must be the building up of character.
Cesar Chavez
You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.
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
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.
Cesar Chavez
We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.
Cesar Chavez
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
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
Self dedication is a spiritual experience.
