If you win non-violently, then you have a double victory, you have not only won your fight, but you remain free.

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.

The only ones who make things change are fanatics. If you're not a fanatic around here, you can't cut it.

"The life of the union depends upon more people getting to share the limelight, because with the limelight also comes responsibility and with the responsibility comes a little sharing of the load." "There isn't enough money to organize poor people. There never is enough money to organize anyone. If you put it on the basis of money, you're not going to succeed."

Our union represents a breaking away...represents sharing a power, represent questioning, represents a new force...however long it takes, we are geared for a struggle.

These observations tie in directly with the whole question of organizing. Why do we have leaders? We put some people out in the fields and all of a sudden they hit, they click. Everyone's happy with them and they begin to move mountains. With other people there are problems and heartaches. They just don't go. When we look and see what's happening, almost invariably the differences are along the lines of willingness to sacrifice and work long hours.

There's no turning back...We will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.
