“From afar, it seems like a war without a solution and like a long sacrifice for the entire country. So when a president appears who tries to open a path to peace, I think that deserves support, because there is a lot of pain, and if they try to settle scores, the war will never end. But there is an opportunity. I would feel selfish if I did not help in any way.” IfsThinkingWayFeelsTryingLongWarEndsCountryHelpingSeemsPainOpportunityPresidentPowerfulSupportPathSacrificeSolutionsDeserveHumbleSelfishSettlingScorePoorestAfar Author:Jose Mujica
“Help does not mean to intervene. I will not meddle if I am not invited to do so. But if I can serve as a go-between with my experience, I will support the government's call for dialogue with the rebel forces who also have their problems, who also have their fears. I think all us Latin Americans have to help.” IfsThinkingMeanDoeI CanHelpingProblemGovernmentForcePowerfulSupportHumbleDialogueLatinRebelInvitedPoorestLatin AmericaLatin American 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
