More quotes by Jose Marti
Amor cuerdo, no es amor. (Sane love, is not love)
Jose Marti

Jose Marti
Day and night I always dream with open eyes. - José MartÃ
Jose Marti
Men are like the stars some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.
Jose Marti
A child who does not think about what happens around him and is content with living without wondering whether he lives honestly is like a man who lives from a scoundrel's work and is on the road to being a scoundrel.
Jose Marti
It is my duty to prevent, through the independence of Cuba, the U.S.A. from spreading over the West Indies and falling with addedweight upon other lands of Our America. All I have done up to now and shall do hereafter is to that end.... I know the Monster, because I have lived in its lair--and my weapon is only the slingshot of David.
Jose Marti
It is the duty of man to raise up man.
Jose Marti
