“Our people know very well how different the conduct of the fighters has always been throughout the history of the Revolution because, above all things, the principles of the Revolution, the moral of the Revolution, the discipline of the Revolution and the dignity of the Revolution have prevailed.”

“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.
