Who gets the risks? The risks are given to the consumer, the unsuspecting consumer and the poor work force. And who gets the benefits? The benefits are only for the corporations, for the money makers.

We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community - and this nation.

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.

Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.

You are never strong enough that you don't need help.

If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart.

From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.

We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure.

Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves - and be free.

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people.

There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.

In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.

There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.

Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.

Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?

It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice.

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.

Since the Church is to be servant to the poor, it is our fault if that wealth is not channeled to help the poor in our world.

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.

There is no law for farm labor organizing, save the law of the jungle.

Though many of the poor have come to see the affluent middle class as its enemy, that class actually stands between the poor and the real powers in this society - the administrative octopus with its head in Washington, the conglomerates, the military complex.

To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men!

We farm workers are closest to food production. We were the first to recognize the serious health hazards of agriculture pesticides to both consumers and ourselves.

What we do know absolutely is that human lives are worth more than grapes and that innocent-looking grapes on the table may disguise poisonous residues hidden deep inside where washing cannot reach.

When poor people get involved in a long conflict, such as a strike or a civil rights drive, and the pressure increases each day, there is a deep need for spiritual advice. Without it, we see families crumble, leadership weaken, and hard workers grow tired.

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines the kind of men we are.

Preservation of ones own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.

If you really want to make a friend go to someones house and eat with him the people who give you their food give you their heart.

Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak. Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.

The first principal of nonviolent action is that of noncooperation with everything humiliating.

Our language is the reflection of ourselves.

It takes a lot of punishment to be able to do anything to change the social order.

Talk is cheap..It is the way we organize and use our lives every day that tell what we believe in.

While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans' benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans.

Nothing is more pleasing and engaging than the sense of having conferred benefits. Not even the gratification of receiving them.

These are people who haven't gone through the legal means to becoming citizens like our forefathers did. They want all the benefits but none of the responsibilities.

The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.

There are many benefits to this process of listening. The first is that good listeners are created as people feel listened to. Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

Substantive and procedural law benefits and protects landlords over tenants, creditors over debtors, lenders over borrowers, and the poor are seldom among the favored parties.

To honor our national promise to our veterans, we must continue to improve services for our men and women in uniform today and provide long overdue benefits for the veterans and military retirees who have already served.

Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support.

There is no social program in this country that is as important as a good job that pays well, that gives someone an opportunity to go to work, have some security, have benefits, and take care of their family and have a good life.

Nonetheless, the developing countries must be able to reap the benefits of international trade.

The sacrifices made by veterans and their willingness to fight in defense of our nation merit our deep respect and praise - and to the best in benefits and medical care.

Amnesty is the magnet. Other magnets that you mentioned are anchor babies who get benefits in this country and employer deductions for employees, even if they are here illegally, which Mr. King is addressing.

Who gets the risks? The risks are given to the consumer, the unsuspecting consumer and the poor work force. And who gets the benefits? The benefits are only for the corporations, for the money makers.

With me serving as the president, we filed a $3-million lawsuit against the league and its member clubs in an attempt to win increased pension benefits and a larger share Of television revenue.
