A scanned quote by Jose Marti, one of the great writers of the Hispanic world. His writings condemn despotic regimes and the curtailment of human rights. Marti denounced the arrogance that we find in the current American political landscape.
"The scorn of our formidable neighbor who does not know us is Our
America's greatest danger. And since the day of the visit is near, it
is imperative that our neighbor know us, and soon, so that it will not
scorn us. Through ignorance it might even come to lay hands on us. Once
it does know us, it will remove its hands out of respect. One must have
faith in the best of men and distrust the worst."
—Jose Marti,
January 10, 1891
