“As soon as politicians start climbing up the ladder, they suddenly become kings. I don't know how it works, but what I do know is that republics came to the world to make sure that no one is more than anyone else. The pomp of office is like something left over from a feudal past: "You need a palace, red carpet, a lot of people behind you saying, 'Yes, sir.' I think all of that is awful."” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldNeedsPastLeftPowerfulBehindsKnow HowKingsPoliticianOfficeRedHumbleAwfulRepublicClimbingLaddersCarpetPalacesLike SomethingPoorestBehind YouRed CarpetSaying YesClimbing UpClimbing Up The Ladder Author:Jose Mujica
“My goal is to achieve a little less injustice in Uruguay, to help the most vulnerable and to leave behind a political way of thinking, a way of looking at the future that will be passed on and used to move forward. There's nothing short-term, no victory around the corner. I will not achieve paradise or anything like that. What I want is to fight for the common good to progress. Life slips by. The way to prolong it is for others to continue your work.” ThinkingWayWantLittlesHelpingMovingPoliticalUsedFightingGoalTermPowerfulCommonBehindsProgressAchieveVictoryInjusticeCornersHumbleMoving ForwardVulnerableParadiseSlipsShort TermWay Of ThinkingPoorestCommon GoodAround The Corner Author:Jose Mujica
