“It is important that, as from today, that the people know and understand that the Revolution could not be a task of one, two, or three days, that the evils that affect us could not be eradicated overnight, and that it would be necessary to work very hard. Just as the war was not won in a single day, […], the Revolution would also have to be made step by step, little by little, and without any other maxim but that of the final victory.”
"(...) when we no longer have the enemy before us, when the war is over, we ourselves are potentially the only enemies of the Revolution".
"And it was the people who won this war, because we had no tanks, we had no planes, we had no heavy artillery, we had no military academies, we had no recruitment and training camps, we had no divisions, or regiments, or companies, or platoons, or even squads".
"This has been perhaps the first revolution in history in which not a single prisoner of war has been murdered; in which no wounded have been abandoned, in which no-one has been tortured; because that was the standing order established by the rebel Army".
“They can make our people disappear from the face of the earth, but they can never defeat it; because our people with their reason, with their heroism, with their dignity, with their shame and their greatness of spirit is an invincible people, and it is a people that must be respected.”
"When the philosophy of plundering is gone, the philosophy of war shall be no more!"
