Fidel Castro

I don't want to be a god. I want to be a man.

I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is an abomination.

The greatest danger to the revolution is boredom.

I am not looking for anything I can be given. I am looking for something I can achieve.

The United States could bomb us 10,000 times, but they can't kill our ideas.

I find it amusing that the United States considers itself the defender of democracy when it has supported so many dictatorships.

The greatest glory of the revolution is not what it has done, but what it has yet to do.

I have a reputation for being a dictator. But I assure you, I am a very democratic dictator.

The enemies of the revolution are like the flies: they are always there, but they cannot stop the revolution.

I am not interested in power for power's sake, but for the sake of the revolution.

I have never been a capitalist, nor will I ever be one.

The greatest satisfaction of a revolutionary is to feel that he is useful to his people.

I am a man of peace, but I am also a man of war.

I am not a messiah, but I am a revolutionary.

The revolution is like a tree. It grows slowly, but it grows strong.

I never thought I would live to be 90 years old, but here I am.

The United States is a country of contradictions.

The revolution is a school for the people.

I am not a politician. I am a revolutionary.

The most important thing is to have faith in the future.
