More quotes by Che Guevara
Words without deeds are worthless.
Che Guevara
I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
Che Guevara
We put no condition of any kind to the U.S., we don't want it to change its system, we don't want racial discrimination to cease in the U.S., we put no conditions to the establishment of relations.
Che Guevara
Always we argue that unity is necessity because disunity goes in favor of the U.S. , which are our enemy, and everything that goes in favor of the enemy must be eliminated. That is why we are in favor of unity.
Che Guevara
It is not necessary to wait until all conditions for making revolution exist the insurrection can create them.
Che Guevara
Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates. Instead they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service. The very spirit of rebellion is reprehensible.
Che Guevara
The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination! If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City!
Che Guevara
Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.
Che Guevara
At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
Che Guevara
One does not necessarily have to wait for a revolutionary situation: it can be created.
Che Guevara
I understand that the American people has a right and especially the press, which is not very friendly to us, to make all suppositions and ideas about this fact [suicide by Augusto Martinez] - this disgraced fact.
Che Guevara
Silence is argument carried out by other means.
Che Guevara
I knew that the moment the great governing spirit strikes the blow to divide all humanity into just two opposing factions, I would be on the side of the common people.
Che Guevara
We do not have elections. But the great majority of the Cuban people supports its government.
Che Guevara
Democracy is not compatible with financial oligarchy, with discrimination against Blacks and outrages by the Ku Klux Klan.
Che Guevara
As long as imperialism exists it will, by definition, exert its domination over other countries. Today that domination is called neocolonialism.
Che Guevara
If they attack, we shall fight to the end. If the rockets had remained, we would have used them all and directed them against the very heart of the United States, including New York, in our defense against aggression. But we haven't got them, so we shall fight with what we've got.
Che Guevara
If you have the capacity to tremble with indignation every time that an injustice is committed in the world, then we are comrades.
Che Guevara
Wrapped in a police blanket, I watched the rain and smoked one black cigarette after another.
Che Guevara
The amount of poverty and suffering required for a Rockefeller to emerge, and the amount of depravity entailed in the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible for the popular forces to expose this clearly.
