More quotes by Jose Marti
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.
Jose Marti
There is happiness in duty, although it may not seem so.
Jose Marti
All is beautiful and unceasing, all is music and reason, and all, like diamond, is carbon first, then light.
Jose Marti
It is a sin not to do what one is capable of doing.
Jose Marti
The brave forget. It is those who fought less bravely, or those who fought without justice and live in fear of their victory, who forget the least.
Jose Marti
Nature has placed the need to see justice done in some souls, and the need to flout and affront it in others.
Jose Marti
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
He who could have been a torch and stoops to being a pair of jaws is a deserter.
Jose Marti

Jose Marti
Strength comes from waiting.
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
A selfish man is a thief.
Jose Marti
Freedoms, like privileges, prevail or are imperiled together You cannot harm or strive to achieve one without harming or furthering all.
Jose Marti
Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.
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
He who uses the office he owes to the voters wrongfully and against them is a thief.
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
In this world, there must be a certain degree of honor just as there must be a certain amount of light. When there are many men without honor, there will always be some others who bear in themselves the honor of many men.
Jose Marti
Men are like the stars some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.
Jose Marti
Fortunately, there is a sane equilibrium in the character of nations, as there is in that of men.
Jose Marti
