In Non-violence The Cause Has To Be

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."

Talk Is Cheap...it Is The Way We Organize And Use Our Lives Everyday That Tells What We Believe In.

There Are Vivid Memories From My Childhood-what We Had To Go Through Because Of Low Wages And The Conditions, Basically Because There Was No Union. I Suppose If I Wanted To Be Fair I Could Say That I'm Trying To Settle A Personal Score. I Could Dramatize It By Saying That I Want To Bring Social Justice To Farm Workers. But The Truth Is That I Went Through A Lot Of Hell, And A Lot Of People Did. If We Can Even The Score A Little For The Workers Then We Are Doing Something. Besides, I Don't Know Any Other Work I Like To Do Better Than This. I Really Don't.

Society Is Made Up Of Groups, And As Long As The Smaller Groups Do Not Have The Same Rights And The Same Protection As Others - I Don['t Care Whether You Call It Capitalism Or Communism -it Is Not Going To Work. Somehow, The Guys In Power Have To Be Reached By Counterpower, Or Through A Change In Their Hearts And Minds, Or Change Will Not Come.

The Poor, You Know, Have A Way Of Solving Problems...they Have A Tremendous Capacity For Suffering. And So When You Build A Vehicle To Get Something Done, As We've Done Here In The Strike And The Boycott, Then They Continue To Suffer - And Maybe A Little Bit More - But The Suffering Becomes Less Important Because They See A Chance Of Progress; Sometimes Progress Itself. They've Been Suffering All Their Live.s It's A Question Of Suffering With Some Kind Of Hope Now. That's Better Than Suffering With No Hope At All.
