Jean-Jacques Dessalines famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

I take a grave view of the press. It is the weak slat under the bed of democracy
Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship.
Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles.
Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.
Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
In love, we have to dare everything if we really love.
The search for God is indeed, an entirely personal undertaking.... the most audacious adventure that one can dare.
The best time to expand is when no one else dares to take risks
I dare not exercise personal liberty if it infringes on the liberty of others.
