Fidel Castro

We do not believe in bourgeois democracy. We believe in the democracy of the people, of the workers, of the peasants.

I am not interested in personal power, I am interested in the power of the people.

The revolution is beautiful. It is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a people.

We will not give up a single inch of our territory. We will not give up a single principle of our revolution.

I am not an optimist. I am a realist. I believe in the triumph of the revolution.

The revolution has no time for personal problems. The revolution has no time for individual interests.

I am prepared to die for my country. I am prepared to die for the revolution.

The greatest glory of the revolution is not to have defeated imperialism, but to have created a new man.

We are not going to give up our principles for anything in the world. We are not going to betray our people.

The revolution is not a finished product. The revolution is a continuous process.

I am not a fan of violence, but I am a fan of justice.

The revolution is a school. The revolution is a university. The revolution is a laboratory.

We will resist. We will overcome. We will win.

I believe in the triumph of good over evil. I believe in the triumph of justice over injustice.

The revolution is a permanent struggle. The revolution is a permanent revolution.

We are not going to negotiate with the United States. We are not going to surrender to the United States.

I am a soldier of the revolution. I am a soldier of the people.

The revolution is a torrent that sweeps away everything in its path.

We are not going to return to the past. We are going to build the future.

The revolution is a science. The revolution is an art. The revolution is a philosophy.
