Cuba Ought To Be Free And Independent,

The Free Man Cannot Be Long An Ignorant Man.

Illiteracy Must Be Banished From The Land If We Shall Attain That High Destiny As The Foremost Of The Enlightened Nations Of The World Which, Under Providence, We Ought To Achieve.

We Cannot Gamble With Anything So Sacred As Money.

That's All A Man Can Hope For During His Lifetime - To Set An Example - And When He Is Dead, To Be An Inspiration For History.

By The Blessings Of Heaven I Mean To Live And Die, Please God, In The Faith Of My Mother.
