I want to die a slave to principles. Not to men.

The enemies of the country and of freedom of the people have always denounced as bandits those who sacrifice themselves for the noble causes of the people.

The land belongs to those who work it with their hands.

Seek justice from tyrannical governments not with your hat in your hands but with a rifle in your fist.

I forgive those who murder and steal because they did it out of necessity, but a traitor never.

I would rather die on my feet than continue living on my knees.

The land free, the land free for all, land without overseers and without masters.

One of the happiest days of my life is when I made five or six hundred pesos from a crop of watermelons I raise all on my own.

Whatever the 25 guys on the roster, it’s my job to get the most out of those guys.

A real education takes place, not in the lecture hall or library, but in the rooms of friends, with earnest frolic and happy disputation.
