More quotes by Cesar Chavez
If you're not frightened that you might fail, you'll never do the job. If you're frightened, you'll work like crazy.
Cesar Chavez
There are many reasons for why a man does what de does. To be himself he must be able to give it all. If a leader cannot give it all he cannot expect his people to give anything.
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
When any person suffers for someone in greater need, that person is a human.
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
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
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
If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart.
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
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
Because we have suffered, and we are not afraid to suffer in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything - even our lives - in our struggle for justice.
Cesar Chavez
When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick.
Cesar Chavez
Our struggle is not easy. Those who oppose our cause are rich and powerful and they have many allies in high places. We are poor. Our allies are few. But we have something the rich do not own. We have our bodies and spirits and the justice of our cause as our weapons.
Cesar Chavez
You are never strong enough that you don't need help.
Cesar Chavez
We are certain God's will is that all men share in the good things this earth produces.
Cesar Chavez
We are organizers at heart. Most of us in the movement take great pride in being able to put things together.
Cesar Chavez
There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.
Cesar Chavez
[We believe that unions have always been about much more than the industries in which they operate.] The fight is never about grapes or lettuce, ... It is always about people.
Cesar Chavez
The thing that we have going for us is that people are willing to sacrifice themselves.
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.
