Jose Marti
He who does not see things in their depth should not call himself a radical.
Jose Marti
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
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
A selfish man is a thief.
Jose Marti
We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.
Jose Marti
The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well.
Jose Marti
He who receives money in trust to administer for the benefit of its owner, and uses it either for his own interest or against the wishes of its rightful owner, is a thief.
Jose Marti
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
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
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
Hatred, slavery's inevitable aftermath.
