Non-violence Is Not Inaction. It Is Not

[we Believe That Unions Have Always Been About Much More Than The Industries In Which They Operate.] The Fight Is Never About Grapes Or Lettuce, ... It Is Always About People.

Kindness And Compassion Towards All Living Things Is A Mark Of A Civilized Society. Conversely, Cruelty, Whether It Is Directed Against Human Beings Or Against Animals, Is Not The Exclusive Province Of Any One Culture Or Community Of People.

The Name Of The Game Is To Talk To People. If You Don't Talk To People, You Can't Get Started...you Knock On Twenty Doors Or So, And Twenty Guys Tell You To Go To Hell, Or That They Haven't Got Time. But Maybe At The Fortieth Or Sixtieth House You Find The One Guy Who Is All You Need. You're Not Going To Organize Everything; You're Just Going To Get It Started.

Nonviolence Is Really Tough. You Don't Practice Nonviolence At Conferences; You Practice It On Picket-lines.

We Cannot Seek Achievement For Ourselves And Forget About Progress And Prosperity For Our Community... Our Ambitions Must Be Broad Enough To Include The Aspirations And Needs Of Others, For Their Sakes And For Our Own.
