"Robin Hood ya ha repartido todas las riquezas arrebatadas. En un principio los pobres estaban contentos y aullaban de felicidad en cada esquina del bosque. Poco tiempo después comprendieron que el gran bandolero de Sherwood sólo sabía redistribuir la riqueza, pero no crearla."

Yoani Sanchez.

"É uma revolta?"

"Não, majestade, é uma Revolução."

Se me perguntassem em qual dia eu gostaria de fazer aniversário, eu responderia: no 14 de julho. Felizmente, eu faço aniversário no 14 de julho!

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?I
ls viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

Refrão:

Aux armes, citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

Etc, etc...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
