Quote by -Chaim Potok
"It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We are convinced that non-violence is more powerful than violence. We are convinced that non-violence supports you if you have a just and moral cause...If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"...people think non-violence is really weak and non-militant. These are misconceptions that people have because they don't understand what non-violence means. Non-violence takes more guts, if I can put it bluntly, than violence. Most violent acts are accomplished by getting the opponent off guard, and it doesn't take that much character, I think, if one wants to do it."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"This is the beginning of a social movement in fact and not in pronouncements. We seek our basic, God - given rights as human beings...We shall do it without violence because it is our destiny. To the growers and to all who oppose us, we say the words of Benito Juarez: `Respect for another's right is the meaning of peace.'"
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Through Gandhi and my own life experience, I have learned about nonviolence. I believe that human life is a very special gift from God, and that no one has a right to take that away in any cause, however just. I am convinced that nonviolence is more powerful than violence."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Kindness and compassion toward all living things is the mark of a civilized society."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Just as Dr. King was a disciple of Gandhi and Christ, we must now be Dr. King's disciples. Dr. King challenged us to work for a greater humanity. I only hope that we are worthy of his challenge."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted."
Quote by -Catherine Deneuve
"I read a quote the other day that said comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. And what happens is that you're saying that you're not good enough."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz

Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
Charity even for one person does not make sense except in terms of an effort to love all Creation in response to the Creator's love for it.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.
Quote by -William Godwin
To have humanism we must first be convinced of our humanity. As we move further into decadence this becomes more difficult.
Quote by -Thomas Pynchon
“When a person finally breaks, they are good for nothing except for like broken glass used to stab, kill and destroy life”
