When any person suffers for someone in greater need, that person is a human.
Cesar Chavez

Non violence means people in action. People have to understand that with non-violence goes a hell of a lot of organization.
Cesar Chavez
Image
We do not need to kill or destroy to win. We are a movement that builds and not destroys.
Cesar Chavez
Image
To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream the second is persistence.
