Our Union Represents A Breaking Away...represents Sharing

When We Are Really Honest With Ourselves We Must Admit That Our Lives Are All That Really Belong To Us, So It Is How We Use Our Lives That Determines What Kind Of Men We Are. It Is My Deepest Belief That Only By Giving Life Do We Find Life, That The Truest Act Courage, The Strongest Act Of Manliness Is To Sacrifice Ourselves For Others In A Totally Non-violent Struggle For Justice. To Be A Man Is To Suffer For Others, God Help Us To Be Men.

Once Social Change Begins, It Cannot Be Reversed. You Cannot Un-educate The Person Who Has Learned To Read. You Cannot Humiliate The Person Who Feels Pride. You Cannot Oppress The People Who Are Not Afraid Anymore. Cesar Chavez Address To The Commonwealth Club In San Francisco, Nov. 9, 1984

If You're Outraged At Conditions, Then You Can't Possibly Be Free Or Happy Until You Devote All Your Time To Changing Them And Do Nothing But That. But You Can't Change Anything If You Want To Hold Onto A Good Job, A Good Way Of Life And Avoid Sacrifice.

Grant Me Courage To Serve Others; For In Service There Is True Life.

What Is At Stake Is Human Dignity. If A Man Is Not Accorded Respect He Cannot Respect Himself And If He Does Not Respect Himself, He Cannot Demand It.
