Jose Mujica Quotes

The fight against the drug smuggling is lost worldwide Picture Quote #1

Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet Picture Quote #1

There are those who believe that power is up above, and they don’t notice that it’s actually in the hearts of the great masses Picture Quote #1

No country can solve climate change alone, we have to take global measures Picture Quote #1

Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more Picture Quote #1

Worse that drugs is drug trafficking. Much worse. Drugs are a disease, and I don’t think that there are good drugs or that marijuana is good. Nor cigarettes. No addiction is good. I include alcohol. The only good addiction is love. Forget everything else Picture Quote #1

I’ll shout it if they want: Down with isms! Up with a Left that is capable of thinking outside the box! In other words, I am more than completely cured of simplifications, of dividing the world into good and evil, of thinking in black and white. I have repented! Picture Quote #1

The political climate during a campaign is not the best climate for reasonable debate Picture Quote #1

The kids of today have to be better than us. We must strive to create tools adequate for human beings that come with other things that are, at least, different from those we used to have Picture Quote #1

I’m just sick of the way things are. We’re in an age in which we can’t live without accepting the logic of the market. Contemporary politics is all about short-term pragmatism. We have abandoned religion and philosophy... What we have left is the automatisation of doing what the market tells us Picture Quote #1

Some people love money and get into politics. If they love money so much, they should get into commerce, industry, or do whatever they want - it’s no sin. But politics is for serving the people Picture Quote #1

We applied a very simple principle: Recognize the facts. Abortion is old as the world. Gay marriage, please - it’s older than the world. We had Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, please. To say it’s modern, come on, it’s older than we are. It’s an objective reality that it exists. For us, not legalizing it would be to torture people needlessly Picture Quote #1

But we think as people and countries, not as a species Picture Quote #1

I may appear to be an eccentric old man... But this is a free choice Picture Quote #1

We can almost recycle everything now. If we lived within our means, by being prudent, the 7 billion people in the world could have everything they needed. Global politics should be moving in that direction. But we think as people and countries, not as a species Picture Quote #1

I think the ideal way of living is to live like the vast majority of people whom we attempt to serve and represent Picture Quote #1

My definition of poor are those who need too much. Because those who need too much are never satisfied Picture Quote #1

To live in accordance with how one thinks. Be yourself and don’t try to impose your criteria on the rest. I don’t expect others to live like me. I want to respect people’s freedom, but I defend my freedom. And that comes with the courage to say what you think, even if sometimes others don’t share those views Picture Quote #1

I have a way of life that I don’t change just because I am a president. I earn more than I need, even if it’s not enough for others. For me, it is no sacrifice, it’s a duty Picture Quote #1

I’m not the poorest president. The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live. My lifestyle is a consequence of my wounds. I’m the son of my history. There have been years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress Picture Quote #1

Worse that drugs is drug trafficking. Much worse. Drugs are a disease, and I don’t think that there are good drugs or that marijuana is good. Nor cigarettes. No addiction is good. I include alcohol. The only good addiction is love. Forget everything else Picture Quote #1

From afar, it seems like a war without a solution and like a long sacrifice for the entire country. So when a president appears who tries to open a path to peace, I think that deserves support, because there is a lot of pain, and if they try to settle scores, the war will never end. But there is an opportunity. I would feel selfish if I did not help in any way Picture Quote #1
