More quotes by Evo Morales
This is a coca leaf. This is not cocaine. This represents the culture of indigenous people of the Andean region.
Evo Morales
Now we are immersed in deep democratic revolutions, for the recovery of our resources, and to transform a resource into a basic human right. And that is spread around the world.
Evo Morales
I learned that the political is above the legal, that's why when my advisors tell me, Evo, what you are doing is illegal, I say, if it is illegal, then do it legal, you have studied for that.
Evo Morales
I'm much more convinced that the hierarchy comes from the monarchy, and that the hierarchy stays apart from the oligarchy. So the oligarchy is hurtful to the majority in Bolivia.
Evo Morales
We want to govern with our indigenous ancestors' models: That means a different concept of participation, community work and honesty.
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
Globalization and the neoliberal economic model have already been rejected in Latin America it simply hasn't been a solution for our people. At the same time, Latin countries like Venezuela and Argentina are anti-imperialist and anti-globalization, and yet their economies are growing again.
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
We have launched an international campaign to legalize coca leaves, and we want the United Nations to remove coca from its list of toxic substances. Scientists proved long ago that coca leaves are not toxic.
Evo Morales
Chavez's oil is unimportant for Bolivia... We are not dependent on Venezuela. We complement each other. Venezuela shares its wealth with other countries, but that doesn't make us subordinate.
Evo Morales
The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.
Evo Morales
The 21st of December marks the end of the time and the beginning of no-time
Evo Morales
Almost everyone is bald. And thats because of what they eat.
Evo Morales
What unites Bolivia with Venezuela is the concept of the integration of South America. This is the old dream of a great fatherland, a dream that existed even before the Spanish conquest, and Simon Bolivar fought for it later on.
Evo Morales
We nationalize hydrocarbons, so now the economy is improving and the fight against poverty is also improving in Bolivia.
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
I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly.
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 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
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.
