“We would not be strong in attacking other people because our strength lies in the justice of our cause and it is not just to attack any other either politically or economically. When I say that our revolution is strong I mean to say that it is strong to defend itself. For this reason I say that no force in the world is capable of beating our revolution. When I say that our revolution is strong, I mean to say that we know what we want--we know what we are doing.”

“There is nothing more fierce than the hatred of the master for the rebellious slave. And to that must be added the fact that they see their interests endangered — not only here but throughout the world. We brought our case to the United Nations, but our case was the case of all underdeveloped countries — the case of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, the case of the Asian countries. Our case was one that could be applied to the rest of the world. The rest of the underdeveloped world is also being exploited by the monopolies.”

“What were the political parties? Just an expression of class interests. Here there is just one class, the humble; that class is in power, and so it is not interested in the ambition of an exploiting minority to get back in power. Those people would have no chance at all in an election. The revolution has no time to waste in such foolishness. There is no chance for the exploiting class to regain power.”
