People who have lost their hunger for justice are not ultimately powerful. They are like sick people who have lost their appetite for what is truly nourishing. Such sick people should not frighten or discourage us. They should be prayed for along with the sick people who are in the hospital. "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 ChavezBecause 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 ChavezA 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 ChavezI'm not going to ask for anything unless the workers want it. If they want it, they'll ask for it.
