I have faith that at the end of the road I will see a people
with their confidence in God and with their lives filled with
spiritual significance and moral purpose.
I have faith in finding
there a people with greater confidence in themselves, in finding
each Puerto Rican standing firmly on his own feet.
And I have
this hope because I have faith in God and in Puerto Rico.

[Words of Rafael Hernandez Colon,
Governor of Puerto Rico 1973-1977, 1985-1993]
