Self-government won't work without self-discipline.

I think that the world has largely ignored Belize and the political situation and the plight of its people because it's one of the smallest countries and, in terms of the world economy, one of the least significant.

Belize is so raw and so clear and so in-your-face. There's an opportunity to see something about human nature that you can't really see in a politer society, because the purpose of society is to mask ourselves from each other.

There is no hope for my life if I am ever returned to Belize.

It is not possible to conceive a democratic Guatemala, free and independent, without the indigenous identity shaping its character into all aspects of national existence.

Self-government does not and should not imply the use of political agencies alone. Progress is born of cooperation in the community - not from governmental restraints.

A government that doesn't work is in no one's interest.

I don't need government to be successful.

What's wrong is that we are not participating to make this the type of government it needs to be.

Self-government can succeed only through an instructed electorate.
