More quotes by Evo Morales

Evo Morales
Capitalism is destroying Mother Earth, and to destroy Mother Earth is to destroy humanity.
Evo Morales
I'm just the democratic voice of Bolivia.
Evo Morales
For me, being leftist means fighting against injustice and inequality but, most of all, we want to live well.
Evo Morales
I am sure of the fact that Fidel and Chávez are commanders of the forces of freedom in America, to liberate America and the world.
Evo Morales

Evo Morales
We nationalize hydrocarbons, so now the economy is improving and the fight against poverty is also improving in Bolivia.
Evo Morales
I am Catholic but I want to say something to the Catholics. Thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still Catholic. These bishops of the Catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the Catholic Church only defend oligarchy.
Evo Morales
To talk only about national security, national defense, means to be selfish, ambitious. It is discrimination, isolation. It is just me. What do I care about others?
Evo Morales

Evo Morales
With our goddess, the Pachamama, and it is not possible to continue having a monopoly of religious faith, only Catholic. We have therefore adopted the new constitution as a secular state where all religious beliefs will be respected.
Evo Morales

Evo Morales
I never wore a tie voluntarily, even though I was forced to wear one for photos when I was young and for official events at school. I used to wrap my tie in a newspaper, and whenever the teacher checked I would quickly put it on again. I'm not used to it. Most Bolivians don't wear ties.
Evo Morales
Politics in Bolivia must combine social consciousness with professional competency. In my administration, intellectuals from the upper class can be cabinet ministers or ambassadors, as can members of Indian ethnic groups.
Evo Morales
I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly.
Evo Morales
Sooner or later we will reach a point where communitarian socialism turns global because capitalism is not even the solution to capitalism itself.
Evo Morales
Natural disasters in Bolivia have been getting worse with the passage of time. It's brought about by a system: the capitalist system, the unbridled industrialization of the resources of the Planet Earth.
Evo Morales
Why communitarian socialism? Now not only do we have the pursuit of happiness for man, as a government, as a program or as our principles. But as well to live in harmony with Mother Earth.
Evo Morales
Bolivia is a majority indigenous nation, but that majority has always been excluded.
Evo Morales
The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.
