Fidel Castro

The words of a man history couldn't ignore. Make of them what you will.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

A true man does not seek the path where advantage lies, but rather the path where duty lies.”

Doctors and health workers are the greatest treasure of a nation.

Fidel Castro, First Declaration of Havana, September 2, 1960.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

The National General Assembly of the Cuban People proclaims... the right of the peasants to the land; the right of the workers to the fruits of their labor; the right of children to education; the right of the sick to medical care.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Fidel Castro, on internationalist solidarity.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Today it hurts us if a Cuban is hungry, if a Cuban has no doctor, if a Cuban child suffers or is uneducated... Why shouldn’t we feel hurt if we see an Angolan child go hungry?

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Fidel Castro, on Cuba’s literacy and education achievements.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

We have the lowest student-teacher ratio and spend five times as much on schools than war — the opposite of what the United States does.

Tribute to Che Guevara, October 18, 1967.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Let them be like Che! If we want to express how we want the men of future generations to be, we must say: Let them be like Che!

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

The first duty of the revolutionaries is to tell the truth. Fooling the people, promoting illusions, always brings the worst consequences.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Imperialism cannot forgive a people that frees itself.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

The Cuban people are prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the destruction of imperialism and the victory of world revolution.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

The United States believes it has the right to decide the destiny of all peoples. That is the essence of imperialism.

[Fidel Castro @CastroAbsolved]

Nobody expects the mass media to see itself as guilty for the crisis of values in the modern world.
