Perhaps the enemies of liberty are such only because they judge it by its loud voice.
Jose Marti
Image
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

Many houses were still full of light when, at the close of March 22, the people of the Círculo returned to their homes, which were gladdened with a fleeting gladness by an hour of justice - for there are still many slaves, black and white, in Puerto Rico!
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.
