There is one thing beyond the reach of perversity. The inevitable failure of history, she will judge us - Benito Juárez

Los gobiernos civiles no deben tener religión, porque siendo su deber proteger la libertad que los gobernados tienen de practicar la religión que gusten adoptar, no llenarían fielmente ese deber si fueran sectarios de alguna.

The respect of the rights of others is peace.

The government of the republic will fulfill its duty to defend its independence, to repel foreign aggression, and accept the struggle to which it has been provoked, counting on the unanimous spirit of the Mexicans and on the fact that sooner or later the cause of rights and justice will triumph.
