There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. Spanish: No hay nada como volver a un lugar que se mantiene sin cambios para encontrar las maneras en que tu mismo ha alterado.

Resentment is like drinking a glass of poison and waiting for your enemies to die. Spanish: El resentimiento es como beber un vaso de veneno y esperar a que tus enemigos mueran.

Si no hay comida cuando se tiene hambre, si no hay medicamentos cuando se está enfermo, si hay ignorancia y no se respetan los derechos elementales de las personas, la democracia es una cáscara vacía, aunque los ciudadanos voten y tengan parlamento. (Ushuaia, 1998) - [|Definiciones_de_la_democracia]

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
