Image
There is enough love and good will in our movement to give energy to our struggle and still have plenty left over to break down and change the climate of hate and fear around us.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride...When people see it they know it means dignity.
Cesar Chavez
Image
Together, all things are possible
Cesar Chavez
Image
Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.
Cesar Chavez
Image
We are certain God's will is that all men share in the good things this earth produces.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
Image
Every time we sit at a table at night or in the morning to enjoy the fruits and grain and vegetables from our good earth, remember that they come from the work of men and women and children who have been exploited for generations.
Cesar Chavez
Image
The people who give you their food give you their heart.

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 shall strike. We shall organize boycotts. We shall demonstrate and have political campaigns. We shall pursue the revolution we have proposed. We are sons and daughters of the farm workers' revolution, a revolution of the poor seeking bread and justice.
Cesar Chavez
Image
I think one of the great, great problems...is confusing people to the point where they become immobile. In fact, the more things people can find out for themselves, the more vigor the organization is going to have.
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
Non-violence has suffered its biggest defeat in the hands of people who most want to talk about it.
Cesar Chavez
Image
The non-violent technique does not depend for its success on the goodwill of the oppressor, but rather on the unfailing assistance of God.
Cesar Chavez
Image
In non-violence the cause has to be just and clear as well as the means.
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
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
Image
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
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.
