My biggest fear in life is to be forgotten.

Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all

I was very sad for many days when I discovered that in the world there were poor people and rich people; and the strange thing is that the existence of the poor did not cause me as much pain as the knowledge that at the same time there were people who were rich.

If I fall, look out for the crash. There won't be anyone left standing.

The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.

If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it.

I am only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron and my people.
