“Hope is the strongest driving force for a people. Hope which brings about change, which produces new realities, is what opens man's road to freedom. Once hope has taken hold, courage must unite with wisdom. That is the only way of avoiding violence, the only way of maintaining the calm one needs to respond peacefully to offenses.” PeopleMenWayNeedsWisdomRealityForceFreedomCourageTakenViolenceProduceCalmDrivingStrongestOffenseAvoidingMaintainingDriving Force Author:Oscar Arias
“I cannot accept that to be realistic means to tolerate misery, violence and hate. I do not believe that the hungry man should be treated as subversive for expressing his suffering. I shall never accept that the law can be used to justify tragedy, to keep things as they are, to make us abandon our ideas of a different world. Law is the path of liberty, and must as such open the way to progress for everyone.” MenWorldWayShouldBelieveMeanIdeasDifferentLawUsedSufferingHateJusticeLibertyAcceptingPathProgressViolenceAcceptanceTragedyMiseryHungryTreatedJustifyAbandonRealisticTolerateDifferent WorldsSubversiveHungry Man Author:Oscar Arias
