Che Guevara

Above all, always be capable of feeling profoundly any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality of a revolutionary.

The guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, who takes up arms in response to the angry protests of the people against their exploiters, and who fights to change the social system which keeps all his unarmed brothers in a state of humiliation and poverty.

To be a revolutionary, one must first be a humanitarian.

The example of Cuba will be a lesson and a warning to all those who, for any reason, might wish to delay the liberation of their peoples.

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

We must harden ourselves, but without ever losing our tenderness.

The only way to be truly revolutionary is to be truly human.

The first duty of a revolutionary is to be educated.

I am not an atheist, but I am not a Catholic either. I am a communist.

The example of our revolution, the example of our people, must serve as a beacon for all the peoples of the world.

I have sworn before a picture of the old and mourned comrade Stalin that I will not rest until I see these capitalist octopuses annihilated.

The best way to defend yourself is to attack.

It is not a question of how many are shot, but of the speed with which the revolution is consolidated.

We must carry the war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it: to his home, to his fields, to his factories, to his schools. The enemy will be forced to withdraw from his attacks, he will have to disperse his forces, and leave his own territory undefended, thereby making the revolution victorious.

I am not a messiah, I am not a prophet, I am not a saint. I am just a man who believes in revolution.

The individual is not an end in himself, but a means to an end.

It is necessary to harden oneself, but without losing tenderness.

We must be hard, because the masses need to be hard.

The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.

Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which makes a man into an effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become.
