“Our revolution could present itself in the world as a model for revolutions; the gentlemanly behaviour of the Rebel Army in regards to the enemy had no precedents in the history of revolutions and wars.” 

Speech at the massive people’s demonstration at the Presidential Palace. January 21, 1959.

"The wars between powers seem no longer a possible solution to the great contradictions as they were until the second half of the 20th century. Still, they have had such an impact on the elements that make human survival possible, that they could prematurely put an end to the existence of the current intelligent species that populates our planet."

“In a nuclear war the “collateral damage” would be the life of all humanity”.

“Each and every government in the world has the obligation to respect the right to life of each and every nation and of the totality of all the peoples on the planet”.

“The World’s peoples have an obligation to demand that their political leaders uphold their right to live. When the life of humankind, of your people and your most beloved human beings run such a risk, nobody can afford to be indifferent; not one minute can be lost in demanding respect for that right; tomorrow will be too late”.

“Ideas can be more powerful than nuclear weapons.”.

"The world is facing so many political, military, energy, food and environmental problems that there is no country wanting the United States to return to extremist positions that would increase the risks of nuclear war."

“I am not speaking about wars, whose risks and consequences have been transmitted by wise and brilliant people, including many Americans. I am referring to the food crisis originating in the economic facts and the climatic changes that are apparently now irreversible as a consequence of the actions of man, but which, at any rate, human minds are under the obligation to face in a hurry.”

“We are not in favour of war, but in favour of peace among all the peoples.”

“The Middle East has become the most troubled region on the planet, the same region that produces the energy resources vital for the world’s economy”.

“It is not simply that the cruise missiles are pointing to some military targets in Syria, but the fact that this courageous country, located at the centre of over one billion Muslims, whose fighting spirit is proverbial, has stated it would resist any attack against its country to the end”.
