Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice.
The Angostura Address, Simón Bolívar, 1819
I love Simon Bolivar! I read his biography when I was a kid and he was one of my childhood heroes! 🙂
Thank you for sharing this! 🙂
