More quotes by Salvador Allende
Every country has its own reality and its own leaders, and the leaders act in accordance with their reality.
Salvador Allende
First fulfill your academic obligations and then you will have the right to call yourself a leader of the left.
Salvador Allende
I believe that every president wants to give everyone work but they can't they want everyone to eat but they can't make it happen. The same happens with education. So we have to ask ourselves, Why can't we do anything?
Salvador Allende
People can progress only by working and producing more.
Salvador Allende
The Popular Unity government represented the first attempt anywhere to build a genuinely democratic transition to socialism - a socialism that, owing to its origins, might be guided not by authoritarian bureaucracy, but by democratic self-rule.
Salvador Allende
I still believe in what I believed in for 20 years as a Socialist in Parliament, and being a Socialist is not the same as being a utopian.
Salvador Allende
Fidel Castro is a man with a great sense of self-criticism and respect for his political friends. He is not going to give me instructions, and I am not the type of man who would take them. That's not to say that I don't approve of what is happening in Cuba, but he would never send me a letter telling me what to do or not to do.
Salvador Allende
I have experience and I am employing it in the service of a Chilean road for Chile's problems. We always take advantage of experience wherever it comes from, but adapting it to our reality. I am putting it to use in a Chilean way, for the problems of Chile. We are not anyone's mental colonists.
Salvador Allende
Chile is a country that sells cheap and buys expensive, because we have to pay for manufactured goods from countries at much higher levels of development.
Salvador Allende
This is an instrument in the hands of the people for fighting the fascist saboteurs, because the Chilean armed forces are a guarantee of constitutionality and integrity.
Salvador Allende
I can't spend my whole day talking to people.
Salvador Allende
Only an organized and conscious people can bring about a different kind of society.
Salvador Allende
I have often said that it doesn't matter to me if a student tells me he is a leader of the left, unless he is a good student. We need good students.
Salvador Allende
There can be leftist groups that have not matured politically.
