"...an
ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction;
ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience
of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake
pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism,
vengeance for justice."
- Simón Bolívar, born 24 July 1783.
Venezuelan military and political leader who played a key role in Latin
America's successful struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire,
and is today considered one of the most influential politicians in the
history of the Americas. In 1815, during a self-imposed exile in
Jamaica, he wrote one of the most famous political manifestoes, "The
Jamaica Letter."
