Jose Marti
Image
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
Image
Love is the bond between men, the way to teach and the center of the world.

Jose Marti
Image
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.
