Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity. – Jose Marti
Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggars smile from the scorn of free men. – Jose Marti
Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity. – Jose Marti
The struggles waged by nations are weak only when they lack support in the hearts of their women. – Jose Marti
