"The picket line is the best place to train organizers. One day on the picket line is where a man makes his commitment. The longer on the picket line, the stronger the commitment. A lot of workers think they make their commitment by walking off the job when nobody sees them. But you get a guy to walk off the field when his boss is watching and, in front of the other guys, throw down his tools and march right to the picket line, that is the guy who makes our strike. The picket line is a beautiful thing because it makes a man more human."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez

Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"I've always maintained that it isn't the form that's going to make the difference. It isn't the rule or the procedure or the ideology, but it's human beings that will make it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"The strike and the boycott, they have cost us much. What they have not paid us in wages, better working conditions, and new contracts, they have paid us in self-respect and human dignity."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"If you win non-violently, then you have a double victory, you have not only won your fight, but you remain free."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"However important the struggle is and however much misery and poverty and degradation exist, we know that it cannot be more important than one human life."

"After such mornings he returned to the show with relief. It eased him to push through the crowds of people. The noise, the rank stinks, the shouldering contact of human flesh soothed his jangled nerves."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"But no value has been put on human life; it is given to us free and taken without being paid for. What is it worth? If you look around, at times the value may seem to be little or nothing at all."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished....."

Quote by -Dale Carnegie

Quote by -Dale Carnegie
"I think story-telling is innate in human beings, it's something that we've done since we scrawled across cave walls."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz

Quote by -Buzz Aldrin

"Can you imagine, in 2030, taking a space cruise on the very ship that carried the first human beings to Mars? I can't believe that people wouldn't line up for that possibility."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
“Every human being has both sets of forces within him. One set clings to safety and defensiveness out of fear, tending to regress backward, hanging on to the past, afraid to grow away from the primitive communication with the mother’s uterus and breast, afraid to take chances, afraid to jeopardize what he already has, afraid of independence, freedom and separateness. The other set of forces impels him forward toward wholeness of Self and uniqueness of Self, toward full functioning of all his capacities, toward confidence in the face of the external world at the same time that he can accept his deepest, real, unconscious Self.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of pre-potency. That is to say, the appearance of one need usually rests on the prior satisfaction of another, more pre-potent need. Man is a perpetually wanting animal. Also no need or drive can be treated as if it were isolated or discrete; every drive is related to the state of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of other drives. 8.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
