Day and night I always dream with open eyes. - José Martí
Jose Marti

All is beautiful and unceasing, all is music and reason, and all, like diamond, is carbon first, then light.
Jose Marti
Image
A knowledge of different literatures is the best way to free one's self from the tyranny of any of them.
Jose Marti

Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.
Jose Marti
Image
Strength comes from waiting.
Jose Marti
Image
Man is a living duty, a depository of powers that he must not leave in a brute state. Man is a wing.
Jose Marti
Image
Like bones to the human body, the axle to the wheel, the wing to the bird, and the air to the wing, so is liberty the essence of life. Whatever is done without it is imperfect.
Jose Marti

Jose Marti

Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggar's smile from the scorn of free men.
Jose Marti
Image
To educate is to give man the keys to the world, which are independence and love, and to give him strength to journey on his own, light of step, a spontaneous and free being.
Jose Marti
Image
Talent is a gift that brings with it an obligation to serve the world, and not ourselves, for it is not of our making.
Jose Marti
Image
Treacherous assassins, enemies of the people, and worthy of everyone's ridicule are those who, under the pretext of guiding future generations, teach them an isolated system of doctrines and whisper in their ear (instead of the sweet message of love) the barbarous gospel of hate.
Jose Marti
Image
It is a sin not to do what one is capable of doing.
Jose Marti
Image
To beautify life is to give it an object.
Jose Marti
Image
Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.
Jose Marti
Image
Hatred, slavery's inevitable aftermath.
Jose Marti
Image
Culture, which makes talent shine, is not completely ours either, nor can we place it solely at our disposal. Rather, it belongs mainly to our country, which gave it to us, and to humanity, from which we receive it as a birthright.
