When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us, so it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving life do we find life, that the truest act courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others, God help us to be men. ✨ Cesar Chavez, Richard Jay Jensen, John C. Hammerback (2002). The Words of César Chávez, p.167, Texas A&M University Press
