Samora Machel

“The emancipation of women is not an act of charity, the result of a humanitarian or compassionate attitude. The liberation of women is a fundamental necessity for the Revolution, the guarantee of its continuity and the precondition for its victory.”

“International solidarity is not an act of charity: It is an act of unity between allies fighting on different terrains toward the same objective.”

“Personalities and fame pass; the revolution must remain.”

“To ensure national unity, there must be no Shonas in Zimbabwe, there must be no Ndebeles in Zimbabwe, there must be Zimbabweans.”

“Our children are the flowers of our revolution.”

“It is the human being that has to be at the center of our concerns.”

“There is no place for neutralism in our country.”

“We are creating a new man, a new society.”

“The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built.”

“The struggle continues, victory is certain.”
