We do not want the peace of slaves nor the peace of the grave.

One of the happiest days of my life is when I made five or six hundred pesos from a crop of watermelons I raise all on my own.

I would rather die on my feet than continue living on my knees.

The enemies of the country and of freedom of the people have always denounced as bandits those who sacrifice themselves for the noble causes of the people.

Seek justice from tyrannical governments not with your hat in your hands but with a rifle in your fist.

We do not want the peace of slaves nor the peace of the grave.

The land free, the land free for all, land without overseers and without masters.
