QUOTES

“Riding roughshod everywhere, U.S. imperialism has made itself the enemy of the

people of the world and has increasingly isolated itself. The atom bombs and

hydrogen bombs in the hands of the U.S. imperialists will never cow those who

refuse to be enslaved. The raging tide of the people of the world against the U.S.

aggressors is irresistible. Their struggle against U.S. imperialism and its lackeys

will assuredly win still greater victories.”

"Statement Supporting the Panamanian People's Just Patriotic Struggle Against

U.S. Imperialism" (January 12, 1964), People of the World, Unite and Defeat the

U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys, 2nd ed., pp. 9-10.

"Instead of debating the building of the canal for 50 years, I thought it better

to build the canal, and debate me for 50 years.“ Theodore Roosevelt
