More quotes by Che Guevara

Image
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!

Image
One does not necessarily have to wait for a revolutionary situation: it can be created.
Che Guevara
Image
Direct aggression against Cuba would mean nuclear war. The Americans speak about such aggression as if they did not know or did not want to accept this fact. I have no doubt they would lose such a war.
Che Guevara
Image
Guerrilla warfare is used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression.
Che Guevara

The myth of the self-made man, has to be profoundly hypocritical: it is the self-serving demonstration that a lie is the truth
Che Guevara

A country that does not know how to read and write is easy to deceive.
Che Guevara
Image
The state sometimes makes mistakes. When one of these mistakes occurs, one notes a decline in collective enthusiasm due to the effect of a quantitative diminution in each of the elements that make up the mass. Work is paralyzed until it is reduced to an insignificant level. It is time to make a correction.
Che Guevara
Image
Everyday you have to fight so that love for humanity can be transformed into concrete deeds, into acts that set an example, that mobilize.
Che Guevara
Image
One must have a large dose of humanity, a large dose of a sense of justice and truth in order to avoid dogmatic extremes, cold scholasticism, or an isolation from the masses. We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity is transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.
Che Guevara
Image
Socialism is young and has made errors. Many times revolutionaries lack the knowledge and intellectual courage needed to meet the task of developing the new man with methods different from the conventional ones - and the conventional methods suffer from the influences of the society, which created them.
Che Guevara
Image
I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
Che Guevara
Image
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
Image
It is a revolution that came to power with its own army and on the ruins of the army of oppression.
Che Guevara
Image
Wrapped in a police blanket, I watched the rain and smoked one black cigarette after another.
Che Guevara
Image
We have taken plants from the capitalist system where the most important thing was to produce, especially in Cuba.
Che Guevara
Image
The guerrilla band is not to be considered inferior to the army against which it fights simply because it is inferior in fire power.
