More quotes by Cesar Chavez

Image
Our very lives are dependent, for sustenance, on the sweat and sacrifice of the campesinos. Children of farm workers should be as proud of their parents' professions as other children are of theirs.
Cesar Chavez
Image
There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people.
Cesar Chavez
Image
We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.
Cesar Chavez
Image
When workers fall back on violence, they are lost. Oh, they might win some of their demands and might end a strike a little earlier, but they give up their imagination, their creativity, their will to work hard and to suffer for what they believe is right.
Cesar Chavez
Image
We are organizers at heart. Most of us in the movement take great pride in being able to put things together.
Cesar Chavez
Image
Years of misguided teaching have resulted in the destruction of the best in our society, in our cultures and in the environment.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
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.
Cesar Chavez
Image
Our language is the reflection of ourselves.
Cesar Chavez
Image
The thing that we have going for us is that people are willing to sacrifice themselves.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves...
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
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
Image
We don't know how God chooses martyrs. We do know that they give us the most precious gift they possess - their very lives.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.
Cesar Chavez
Image
When you have people together who believe in something very strongly - whether it's religion or politics or unions - things happen.
