It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

The people who give you their food give you their heart.

Non violence means people in action. People have to understand that with non-violence goes a hell of a lot of organization.

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.

The basis for peace is respecting all creatures.

Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things.

We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.
