"We are not going to give up our principles for anything in the world. We are not going to betray our people."
"The greatest danger threatening us is not that of being defeated, but that of being corrupted."
"The revolution is a school of courage. The revolution is a school of sacrifice."
"If surviving is an art, then I am a master."
"I am a man of peace, but I am also a man of war when it is necessary to defend my country."
About Fidel Castro (1926-2016)
Cuban revolutionary who overthrew Batista in 1959 and led Cuba's communist state for 49 years through 11 US presidents. Closely associated with Che Guevara (his revolutionary partner) and Hugo Chávez (Latin American successor in Venezuela). For an intellectual contrast, see Ronald Reagan, Cold War US president — Reagan's hardline anti-communism and economic-warfare strategy made Cuba a test case for the entire late-Cold-War US foreign policy — the institutional power Castro's island state spent 49 years resisting.
