Quotes
“There isn’t a single continent, or a single country in the world, not a single village, not a single contemporary problem where the imperialist activity is not found; there isn’t a single infamous cause in the world that is not supported by imperialism, just as there is not a single righteous cause in this contemporary world that is not countered by imperialism.”
“Nobody can say to be the holder of absolute truth; amid the enormous complexity of the world today no one can declare to be the holder of absolute truth. We have our truths here that stem from our experience and apply to our conditions; and we have made our own deductions and conclusions but we have never claimed to be professors, we have never claimed to have the monopoly of revolutionary truths.”

“
The Revolution has taught us all the idea of human fraternity and solidarity. It has made us all the most profound brothers among whom the blood of one belongs to all and the blood of all belongs to each of the others (Applause). So it is that the sorrow is everyone’s, the mourning is everyone’s, but the invincible strength of millions of people is our strength. And our strength is not only the strength of one people, it is the strength of all the peoples who have now freed themselves from slavery and of all those in the world who struggle to eliminate exploitation, injustice and crime from human society.”
“The revolutionary is a synthesis of human sensibility, the natural feeling of rejecting injustice and oppression”.

We can be certain that while industrialization and progress spreads more and more in the world, so too will trade exchanges grow and this is beneficial for everyone.”
“History has taught us that access to independence of a people who have freed themselves from the colonial or neocolonial system is the final act of a long struggle and at the same time the first act of a new and difficult battle. Because the independence, sovereignty and liberty of our peoples, apparently free, are under continuous threats by the external control of their natural resources, by the financial impositions of official international agencies and by the precariousness of their economies depleted of sovereign plenitude.”
“When the structure of the contemporary world is analyzed, we can see that those rights of our peoples are still not being guaranteed. We, the non-aligned countries know very well who our historical enemies are, where the threats are coming from, and how we should fight them.”
“We want a peace which benefits to an equal degree the great and the small, the powerful and the weak, which covers all spheres in the world and reaches all of its citizens.”
“Anyone who is aware of what is happening in the world knows that what our people are doing today is remarkable.. We owe this feat to socialism; we owe this feat to the unity of our people; we owe this feat to our people's revolutionary spirit”.
