More quotes by Fidel Castro
We are going to give a little something, a few little years more, to socialism, because socialism is defunct. It dies all by itself. The bad thing is that socialism, being a victim of its... Did I say socialism?
Fidel Castro
The greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.
Fidel Castro
All criticism is opposition. All opposition is counter-revolutionary.
Fidel Castro
It would have been the easiest thing in the world for us to build those emplacements under the guise of something totally different and they would have never been discovered. The amazing thing was that they weren't discovered earlier. It was a question of carelessness, lack of foresight.
Fidel Castro
There is nothing more agreeable than having a place where one can throw on the floor as many cigar butts as one pleases without the subconscious fear of a maid who is waiting like a sentinel to place an ashtray where the ashes are going to fall.

Fidel Castro
I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.
Fidel Castro
Forgive me for using the term 'fat little brother'. It is not a criticism, rather a suggestion that he do some exercises and go on a diet, don't you think? I'm doing this for the gentleman's health.
Fidel Castro
There is no more democratic government than a revolutionary government.
Fidel Castro
There are enough doctors on the planet so that nobody has to die for lack of attendance.
Fidel Castro
The revenues of Cuban state-run companies are used exclusively for the benefit of the people, to whom they belong.
Fidel Castro
Why do some people have to go barefoot so that others can drive luxury cars? Why are some people able to live only 35 years in order that others can live 70 years? Why do some people have to be miserably poor in order that others can be extravagantly rich? I speak for all the children in the world who don't even have a piece of bread.
Fidel Castro
How can we help President Obama?
Fidel Castro
