We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

It’s hard to see your own face without a mirror.

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.

Life is not a success-only journey. You are going to get beat up along the way. And you’ve got to have the strength of character to get up and get back in the game.

When you allow a person’s words to upset you, you’re giving away your power.

All begins with you surrounding yourself with the right people—the good and authentic people—and “unsurrounding” yourself with the wrong people. And we both know there are plenty of wrong people in this world.

We shall fight against them, throw them in prisons and destroy them.

I prefer to be in the grave in Colombia than in a jail cell in the United States.

Why does the world dislike Russia? I do not think that we are unloved or considered to be ignorant.

Fascism is a caricature of Jacobinism.

I think God has some mechanism that he uses to punish those that make mistakes.

Many countries are so weak that they can’t really solve their internal problems in the face of US power; they can’t even control their own wealthy. Their rich have virtually no social obligations-they don’t pay taxes and don’t keep their money in the country.

The idea of neutral objectivity is at best misleading and often fraudulent. We cannot help but approach complex and controversial questions – especially those of human significance – with a definite point of view, with an ax to grind if you like…
