Jose Marti
I come from all places and to all places I go: I am art among the arts and mountain among mountains. I know the strange names of flowers and herbs and of fatal deceptions and magnificent griefs. In night's darkness I've seen raining down on my head pure flames, flashing rays of beauty divine.
Jose Marti
Strength comes from waiting.

Jose Marti
No fruit on earth can rival the cemetery's crop
Jose Marti
Only those who hate the Negro see hatred in the Negro.
Jose Marti
Terrible times in which priests no longer merit the praise of poets and in which poets have not yet begun to be priests.
Jose Marti
Just as he who gives his life to serve a great idea is admirable, he who avails himself of a great idea to serve his personal hopes of glory and power is abominable, even if he too risks his life.
Jose Marti
Men are like the stars some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.
Jose Marti
Do something useful and you will have everything you want. Doors are shut for those who are dull and lazy life is secure for those who obey the law of work.
Jose Marti
