Fidel Castro Quotes

"I speak for the children of the world who don't even have a piece of bread. I speak for sick who don't have medicine." ~Fidel Castro, United Nations, 1979

"Men do not shape destiny.  Destiny   produces the man for the hour." ~Fidel Castro

Why should some live for thirty-five years, so that others can live for seventy years? Why should some be miserably poor, so that others can be hugely rich? I speak on behalf of the children in the world who do not have a piece of bread. I speak on the behalf of the sick who have no medicine, of those whose rights to life and human dignity have been denied." ~Fidel Castro's message to the UN General Assembly, 1979

"You imprison the poor wretch who steals because he is hungry; but none of the hundreds who steal millions from the Government has ever spent a night in jail." ~Fidel Castro

But if you're patient, and you hold still, well maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you." ~Leonard Church

Stephanie Renaud - Life is in motion

"Life is not about making an effort to grow. We have it wrong. Life is always in motion. Change is a constant. And so we change, always. We change either by chance or by choice. Changing by chance is like a boat without a rudder being tossed about the waves. By choice is pointing yourself in a direction and allowing the flow of life to move you. It's setting your sail, manning your rudder and navigating the ocean. You do not create the current, the force that drives you. You merely pilot your vessel." ~Stephanie Renaud, Energy Coach for Parents

Bateen Abbas - mother's instinct

(not until when) one lioness defied what we assume to be common knowledge and did the complete opposite." ~Bateen Abbas for Diply on "Two Lions Walk Up To An Injured Fox. What They Do Next Has Animal Experts SHOCKED."
