Jose Marti

He who receives money in trust to administer for the benefit of its owner, and uses it either for his own interest or against the wishes of its rightful owner, is a thief.

A grain of poetry suffices to season a century.

Men are like the stars; some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.

There is happiness in duty, although it may not seem so.

Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.

An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
