José Martí

Gratitude, like certain flowers, does not thrive in high places and flourishes best in the fertile soil of the humble.

The only force and the only truth in this life is love. Patriotism is nothing but love, friendship is nothing but love.

There is only one beautiful child in the world and every mother has it.

Freedom is the right that individuals have to act freely, think, and speak without hypocrisy.

A minute standing is worth more than a lifetime on your knees.

The right of the worker can never be hatred towards capital; it is harmony, reconciliation, the common coming together of one and the other.

Freedom cannot be fruitful for the people who have their foreheads stained with blood.

To get ahead of others, you need to see more than they do.

Even a great man can be exasperated by a miserable fly.

The overall happiness of a nation relies on the individual independence of its inhabitants.

Elementary truths fit on the wing of a hummingbird.

Children are the hope of the world.
