The people united will never be defeated.

There is a great fear of our Union - a fear that I do not fully understand, but that I know is present...What is it that causes some men to act so hastily and so cruelly? It cannot be that we are so powerful. Is it so much to ask that the poorest people of the land have a measure of justice?

We must understand that the highest form of freedom carries with it the greatest measure of discipline.

True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines the kind of men we are.

There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people.

[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.
