Non-violence Is Very Weak In The Theoretical Sense; It Cannot Defend Itself. But It Is Most Powerful In The Action Situation Where People Are Using Non-violence Because They Want Desperately To Bring About Some Change. Non-violence In Action Is A Very Potent Force And It Can't Be Stopped. The People Who Are Struggling Have The Complete Say-so. No Man-made Law, No Human Ruler, No Army Can Destroy This. There Is No Way It Can Be Destroyed... And So, If We Have The Capacity To Endure, If We Have The Patience, Things Will Change.

Imagine The National Guard Being Called Against A Group Of Peaceful People. How Far Can We Get; How Disgraceful Can It Become? It's The Most Disgraceful, The Most Wicked Thing I've Seen In All My Years Of Organizing Farm Labor.

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."

We Know What Unions Have Done For Other People. We Have Seen It And We Have Studied And We Have Cherished The Idea Of Unionism. We Have Seen The History And Development Of Unions In This Country And We Tell The Growers That We Want Nothing More, But That We Want Our Own Union And We Are Going To Fight For It As Long As It Takes.
