“We need to awaken the faith of the peoples, and the faith of the peoples is not awakened with promises, the faith of the peoples is not awakened with theories, the faith of the peoples is not awakened with rhetoric; the faith of the peoples is awakened with facts, the faith of the peoples is awakened with realities, the faith of the peoples is awakened with true solutions."

“The philosophy and moral of imperialism is the philosophy and moral of corruption, selfishness and individualism; and such are the powerful weapons it uses for its ideological struggle against the Revolution.”

“That is man’s marvellous virtue, that he is capable of giving it all, of giving his life, of giving all for an idea, for a cause, for a noble sentiment, for a spirit of solidarity.”

"We are entering a new era of reorganizing the system and this signals an important victory that encourages us all in this battle we have decided to wage against squandering and vice, lifting up the revolutionary morale wherever routine and egoism have been eroding it.
 
We can say that what we have done so far is just the beginning.  We have gone through a period of learning.  Some details must be corrected, and so shall it be done, but we shall be advancing in a most decided manner in the matter of saving energy, motivated by our people’s growing awareness on this vital subject and for the benefits that will surely be ours as a result of all this work".
