„This Revolution is the Revolution of our people; it is the Revolution of our youth; it is the Revolution of our students. Together we achieved it.  Together we defend it.  We are one and the same thing and we cannot ever stop being that.“

"Trusting in our youth is like considering them the best raw material of our homeland, the best raw material of youth, of the Revolution; trusting in our youth is like seeing all what our youth can do; it is thinking of them as honourable followers of the revolutionary work; it is considering them the best followers or builders of the revolutionary work, even better than ourselves."

“We, in our country, have a concept: all our young people must be prepared to lead the country, all our young people must be prepared to defend the homeland.  All of our young people, as their primary duty, must learn to read and write, all of them must acquire a revolutionary conscience.”

“What we give young people are the elements with which to judge reality, those that are right in front of them, the elements that make up the work of a revolution. What we give young people is a worthy cause to defend, a just cause, a heroic cause, a glorious cause. What we give young people is a beautiful cause. What we give young people is what the heart of every young person asks for and needs: something to fight for, a decorous path for one’s life. What we give young people is a notion of tomorrow.

“To the youngest of our revolutionaries, in particular, I recommend to be extremely demanding with themselves and to observe an iron-clad discipline. They should avoid being ambitious for power, presumptuous or boasters. They should be watchful about bureaucratic methods and mechanisms […] use science and computation without falling prey to the excessively technical and unintelligible jargon of the elitist specialists.  They should always be hunger for knowledge; and perseverance, and both physical and mental exercises should be part of their lives.”
