Judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

Among the popular and representative systems of government I do not approve of the federal system: it is too perfect; and it requires virtues and political talents much superior to our own.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

When mankind was in its infan...

When mankind was in its infancy, steeped in uncertainty, ignorance, and error, was it possible to foresee what system it would adopt for preservation.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

It is harder to maintain the balance of freedom than it is to endure the weight of tyranny.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

The continuation of authority...

The continuation of authority has frequently proved the undoing of democratic governments. Repeated elections are essential to the system of popular governments, because there is nothing so dangerous as to suffer power to be vested for a long time in one citizen. The people become accustomed to obeying him, and he becomes accustomed to commanding, hence the origin of usurpation and tyranny.

In the unity of our nations rests the glorious future of our peoples.

War lives on despotism and is not waged with God's love.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

Is it conceivable that a newly emancipated people can soar to the heights of liberty, and, unlike Icarus, neither have its wings melt nor fall into an abyss? Such a marvel is inconceivable and without precedent. There is no reasonable probability to bolster our hopes.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

A state too expensive in itse...

A state too expensive in itself, or by virtue of its dependencies, ultimately falls into decay; its free government is transformed into a tyranny; it disregards the principles which it should preserve, and finally degenerates into despotism. The distinguishing characteristic of small republics is stability: the character of large republics is mutability.

If Nature is opposed, we will fight her and make her obbey us.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

Let the entire system of government be strengthened, and let the balance of power be drawn up in such a manner that it will be permanent and incapable of decay because of its own tenuity.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

Nations will march towards the apex of their greatness at the same pace as their education. Nations will soar if their education soars; they will regress if it regresses. Nations will fall and sink in darkness if education is corrupted or completely abandoned

Our hatred knows no bounds, and the war shall be to the death.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

Out of the most secure things, the most secure is to doubt.

If Nature is against us, we shall fight Nature and make it obey.

Simon Bolivar 38 quotes

It is harder to release a nation from servitude than to enslave a free nation.

Damn it, how will I ever get out of this labyrinth?

The Ignorance the people live in leads them to commit mistakes against their own happiness

The continuation of authority has frequently proved the undoing of democratic governments.
