“Man’s consciousness does not determine the objective conditions. It is the other way around. Only after grasping this can we speak of revolution.  Beautiful words, needed to convey ideas, do not suffice; profound reflection is needed.”

“Chávez is the embodiment of Bolivar’s ideas (…)”.

“Let us go over every discipline, every human and material resource we devote to sports. We must analyze this deeply, apply new ideas, concepts and knowledge. We must distinguish between what is done for the sake of the health of our citizens and what is done for the sake of competing and making this instrument for the wellbeing and health of everyone more accessible”.

“(…) only the just ideas defended with courage, dignity and firmness will prevail”.

“Chavez is a true revolutionary, a profound and sincere thinker, a courageous and restless worker. He did not win power through a coup d’état. He rebelled against the repression and genocide unleashed by the neoliberal governments that surrendered the country’s huge natural resources to the United States. He endured incarceration; he matured and developed his ideas. He did not win power with weapons despite his military background”.

“(…) the revolutionary ideas can be continuously enriched with study and experience.”.

“Not one minute in history is the same as any other; no idea or human event can be judged heedless of their own time”.

“In his insuperable greatness, The Liberator, with true revolutionary genius, was capable of predicting that the United States –originally limited to the territory of the Thirteen Colonies of England – seemed destined to sow misery over the Americas on behalf of liberty. ”

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

“We have rather a powerful adversary: our closest neighbor the United States.  We warned them that we would resist the blockade even though it would mean a very high cost for our country.  There is no greater price to pay than that of capitulating to an enemy who is attacking you without right or reason”.

"Revolutionary ideas are to be always on the alert as humanity is able to multiply its knowledge".

“(…) the future will certainly be that of our dreams of equality and justice for all human beings”.
