“Do not compare your material forces with those of the enemy.…”

“Do not compare your material forces with those of the enemy. Spirit cannot be compared with matter. You are human beings, they are beasts. You are free, they are slaves. Fight, and you shall win. For God grants victory to perseverance.”

— Simón Bolívar
