I am someone who’s been in politics for 43 years and I know what I’m doing and what I should do. Have no doubt that I know how to tell the truth and to do so elegantly.

FIDEL CASTROWe must establish a new world order based on justice, on equity, and on peace.
FIDEL CASTROMen do not shape destiny. Destiny produces the man for the hour.
FIDEL CASTROI don’t think that the contradictions between capitalism and socialism can be resolved by war. This is no longer the age of the bow and arrow. It’s the nuclear age, and war can annihilate us all. The only way to achieve solutions seems to be for the different social systems to coexist.
FIDEL CASTRORevolutionaries must proclaim their ideas courageously … and express their intentions so that no one is deceived.
FIDEL CASTROI neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.
FIDEL CASTROWe have a theoretical concept of the Revolution which is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
FIDEL CASTRORepetition is a revolutionary virtue.
FIDEL CASTROI believe that all of us ought to retire relatively young.
FIDEL CASTROSovereignty is not negotiated in exchange for anything; to maintain the achievements of the revolution does not depend on a foreign power.
FIDEL CASTROI can assure you that my first and foremost interest is my country. This is not a personal matter. We are not people driven by a wish to be in the government since it is for us the least attractive work, even though we are politicians.
FIDEL CASTROI am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement, but we do not have to say that we are anticommunists just to fawn on foreign powers.
FIDEL CASTROWe do not deny the possibility of peaceful political transition, but we are still awaiting the first case.
FIDEL CASTROMy idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn’t work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious.
FIDEL CASTROThere is no more democratic government than a revolutionary government.
FIDEL CASTRONowhere in the world, in no act of genocide, in no war, are so many people killed per minute, per hour and per day as those who are killed by hunger and poverty on our planet.
