Because of their courage and persistence for many years, we can, today, even set the dates when all humanity will join together to celebrate one of the outstanding human victories of our century.

There are two systems, the past and the future. The present is only a painful transition. Which must triumph? The future, will it not? Yes indeed, the future! That is, intelligence, industry, and peace. The past was brute force, privilege, and ignorance. Each of our victories was a triumph for the ideas of the Revolution. Victories will be won, one of these days, without cannon, and without bayonets.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace, and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

Before America entered the war [WW2] I knew we could not win it, but after she entered I knew we could not lose

When that moment comes, we shall, together, rejoice in a common victory over racism, apartheid and white minority rule.
