"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."

"I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them."

"A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."

"I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope."

"I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE AND THE CAPTAIN OF MY DESTINY."
