Criticized Quotes
Life has taught me that if someone is being whipped and someone is whipping this person, I am always on the side of those who are being whipped. I've always criticized U.S. foreign policy for forgetting that the United States should defend those who need to be defended. I would object to U.S. policy if it supported Saddam Hussein, and I have always criticized the United States for supporting military regimes in Latin America.

Appear Quotes
LEONINE, adj. Unlike a menagerie lion. Leonine verses are those in which a word in the middle of a line rhymes with a word at the end, as in this famous passage from Bella Peeler Silcox:The electric light invades the dunnest deep of Hades. Cries Pluto, 'twixt his snores: "O tempora! O mores!"It should be explained that Mrs. Silcox does not undertake to teach pronunciation of the Greek and Latin tongues. Leonine verses are so called in honor of a poet named Leo, whom prosodists appear to find a pleasure in believing to have been the first to discover that a rhyming couplet could be run into a single line.

Close Quotes
I have been definitely influenced more by Latin American writers than by any other type of writer.

His role as peacemaker was what set him apart. Some of you may wonder why I call him pastor instead of reverend. Well, pastor is the Latin word for shepherd. He was the good pastor ? he knew his sheep, and the sheep knew him.

Concert Quotes
I was conscious of being wordy as a child. I was a terrible talker. I memorised the Latin names of flowers at five; I was shown off as a freak. My father encouraged me to be wordier than I was: he'd been a street orator at the time of Mosley, and his ideal primary concert speech was Henry V's speech before Harfleur.

Age And Aging Quotes
I was called at an early age to minister to young people, but unfortunately I ran from God. I was a PK (preacher's kid), rebelled against my dad and made some mistakes in life. I joined a gang called the Latin Kings because of issues I had with my dad. I had some behavior problems during this time and was out of God's will, but He guarded me and protected me until I got serious through His word and realized that there is nothing greater on this Earth than God. God's mercy was on my life. I owe it all to Him.

America Quotes
I think that one of the things that we can really all feel very happy about is that the human rights situation in Latin America has improved enormously over the last 10 years, enormously, enormously.

Anywhere Quotes
Land ownership in Guatemala is more unequal than anywhere else in Latin America. Roughly 90 percent of Guatemalan farms are too small to support a family.
