We are organizers at heart. Most of us in the movement take great pride in being able to put things together.

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.

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.

If they had $2.00 for food, they had to give $1.00 to the union. Otherwise, they would never get out of the trap of poverty. They would never have a union because they couldn't afford to sacrifice a little bit more on top of their misery.

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.

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

Money is not going to organize the disadvantaged, the powerless, or the poor. We need other weapons. That's why the War on Poverty is such a miserable failure. You put out a big pot of money and all you do is fight over it. Then you run out of money and you run out of troops.
