Man needs to suffer. When he does not have real griefs he creates them.

People can only be free if they are truly educated.

He who uses the office he owes to the voters wrongfully and against them is a thief.

Our wine is bitter, but it is our wine.

There is happiness in duty, although it may not seem so.

It is my duty to prevent, through the independence of Cuba, the U.S.A. from spreading over the West Indies and falling with addedweight upon other lands of Our America. All I have done up to now and shall do hereafter is to that end.... I know the Monster, because I have lived in its lair--and my weapon is only the slingshot of David.

Man is a living duty, a depository of powers that he must not leave in a brute state. Man is a wing.
