"I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day , sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go ."



"The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory."



"Answer violence with violence. If one of us falls today, five of them must fall tomorrow."



"Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich."
