“Cuba es:La tierra más hermosaque ojos humanos han visto”

“Man loves liberty, even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.”

“El hombre ama la libertad, aunque no sepa que la ama. Es impulsado por ella y huye de donde no existe.”

“Cultivo una rosa blanca
en julio como en enero
para el amigo sincero
que me da su mano franca.
Y para el cruel que me arranca
el corazón con que vivo,
cardo ni ortiga cultivo;
cultivo la rosa blanca.”

“I cultivate a white rose
In July as in January
For the sincere friend
Who gives me his hand frankly.
And for the cruel person who tears out
The heart with which I live,
I cultivate neither thistle nor nettle;
I cultivate a white rose.”

“Cuando callas ante una injusticia, te comportas como cómplice...”

“When you are silent before an injustice, you act as an accomplice...”
