The United States is the biggest spender of oil and of all the planet resources. Oil is a very valuable resource for life - electric heaters. We must have to transition ourselves to a post-oil era.
Hugo Chavez
I am a President held prisoner, that I haven't resigned and I will not resign.
The imperialists see extremists everywhere. It's not that we are extremists. It's that the world is waking up. It's waking up all over, and people are standing up.
I'm a Christian. I want the world of justice and equality. This is the only way to achieve peace.
I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother.
I'm going to show the world that I'm not a tyrant, much less a devil.
The 'Alliance for Progress' was a political proposal to improve conditions. It was aimed at lowering the social difference between cultures.
I have said it already, I am convinced that the way to build a new and better world is not capitalism. Capitalism leads us straight to hell.
Venezuela has the largest oil reserve, and Venezuela has to defend itself.
I neglected my health, and I was reluctant to have medical check-ups. It was a fundamental mistake for a revolutionary, to the Venezuelan people and the international public opinion.
Oil is a very valuable resource for life - electric heaters. We must have to transition ourselves to a post-oil era. And that's what we must discuss: searching and developing new sources of energy. And that requires scientific research. That requires investment. And the developed countries must be the ones to assume this responsibility first.
Even socialist dictators have an interest in gorgeous supermodels.
We must be aware of consumerism! That's our tendency. It's the capitalistic curse that we were poisoned with. We should spend only what is necessary. How do you call the big cars, the latest ones? Hummer! Not a single dollar to import Hummers! What is that? What is that? What kind of revolution is this? One of Hummers? No way!
I wish Obama would focus on governing the United States and would forget his country's imperialist pretensions.
We must reduce all the emissions that are destroying the planet. However, that requires a change in lifestyle, a change in the economic model: We must go from capitalism to socialism.
I remember. How many minutes do I have left President? About one, one minute.
An infernal machine that produces every minute an impressive amount of poor, 26 million poor in 10 years are 2.6 million per year of new poor, this is the road, well, the road to hell.
Castro has been a teacher for me. A master. Not on ideology but on strategy.
What a thing, Europe. Europe! The cultured Europe! We are the barbarians, the Indians, the blacks, the southerners. How cynical is Europe. Chavez the tyrant! Chavez the strongman! Chavez, who wants to stay forever. While there, they have kings, my friend!
Simon Bolivar, when history led him - and as Karl Marx said, men can make history, but only as far as history allows us to do so - when history took Bolivar and made him the leader of the independence process in Venezuela, he made that process revolutionary.
The immoral veto of the United States allowed the Israelis, with impunity, to destroy Lebanon. Right in front of all of us as we stood there watching, a resolution in the council was prevented.
I don't know anything about Osama Bin Laden that doesn't come to me through the filter of the West and its propaganda.
We want to be brothers and sisters. We want respect and equality. Simon Bolivar, our father, said a balanced world - a universe - a balanced universe in order to have peace and development.
The U.N. system, born after the Second World War, collapsed. It's worthless.
My father and my mother were both teachers. They inculcated to us the importance of studies.
Raul Reyes was a good revolutionary. I knew him personally.
Simon Bolivar turned over all of his land. He freed all of his slaves, and he turned them into soldiers, and he brought them here. He brought them to Peru and Carabobo, and he worked together with the troops of San Martin to liberate this continent. That is Simon Bolivar.
No part of the human community can live entirely on its own planet, with its own laws of motion and cut off from the rest of humanity.
I think developed countries - so-called developed countries - should reflect upon the way of living and the waste of energy.
I will be very sad and worried if the imperialist government was calling me a great democratic man.
Venezuela is supporting tens of thousands of poor families in the United States with heating oil.
When we were children, we were told that we have a motherland, and that motherland was Spain. However, we have discovered later, in our lives, that as a matter of fact, we have several motherlands. And one of the greatest motherlands of all is, no doubt, Africa.
What is the U.S. government looking for? And the elite governing this country? They're looking for oil.
I was an altar boy. My mother wanted me to be a priest. I am very Christian and Catholic. ... I'm very faithful. I believe in God, in Jesus Christ.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the U.S. government, lead by Mr. Bush, planned and participated in a coup d'etat in Venezuela in April, 2002.
I think the United States and the secretary of State should be concerned about the poverty in this country - people without health insurance. The United States should stop being the empire and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.
I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.
The U.S. people have a major role to play to solve, to save this planet.
Artists are never wrong when they paint revolution with the beautiful dress and with the sword. On the horse or by foot. Because revolution is a woman.
I believe in God, in Jesus Christ. I love Jesus Christ. I am a Christian... I cry when I see injustice, children dying of hunger.
Dr. Insulza is quite an idiot, a true idiot. The insipid Dr. Insulza should resign from the secretariat of the OAS for daring to play that role.
Fidel is a Marxist-Leninist. I am not. Fidel is an atheist. I am not. One day, we discussed God and Christ. I told Castro, I am a Christian. I believe in the Social Gospels of Christ. He doesn't. Just doesn't. More than once, Castro told me that Venezuela is not Cuba, and we are not in the 1960s.
I don't care about the internal political system of the United States. I want to be a friend of United States, of its baseball, its institutions, its Rock&Roll, its workers, and its technology because we need it. I want to be friends of the Arab people, of the Persian people, of the Asian people.
They do not walk in... the path of Christ.
Convinced as I am and as I am from my government that the world needs a new moral architecture over all I believe that this should be the first topic to debate in our world of today, ethics, moral.
The U.S. only has 20 billion barrels of oil in reserve. It seems as though there is no more oil around. Venezuela has 300 billion barrels of oil in reserves. Iraq has, like, 150 billion barrels of oil. Iran, close to 300 billion barrels of reserve. Oil for 200 years, of course.
It's a lie! I am not an anti-Semite. The World Jewish Congress supported me and said that I am not anti-Semitic.
The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here.
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.
Kennedy was the driving force of reform in America.
