Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro
A smart policy should be one that tends to receive the capitals, pays the price for that capital - which is the interest - returns the capital and in the end the factories, the industries, are left to remain in the country.
Fidel Castro
I have not seen the Himalayas. But I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, this man is the Himalayas. I have thus had the experience of witnessing the Himalayas.
Fidel Castro
So these Red Sox... are they a Communist organization?
Fidel Castro
Cuba has the cleanest and most-educated prostitutes in the world.
Fidel Castro
Nowhere in the world, in no act of genocide, in no war, are so many people killed per minute, per hour and per day as those who are killed by hunger and poverty on our planet.
Fidel Castro
I am someone who's been in politics for 43 years and I know what I'm doing and what I should do. Have no doubt that I know how to tell the truth and to do so elegantly.
Fidel Castro
One of the greatest benefits of the revolution is that even our prostitutes are college graduates.
Fidel Castro
The greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.
Fidel Castro
