“It is never too soon for the knowledge of exact sciences, for they show us to analyze everything, starting from that which we know to that which we do not know, in this manner we learn to think and to relate to logic”.
“Before anything we should use reason”.
SIMON BOLIVAR
“Anything that is not based on physically and mathematically exact foundations, should be banished by reason”.
“It is always necessary to conduct oneself by reason and calculation”.
“Reason, logic above all, should be the constant guide and objective”.
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
[BY MEANS OF A PROLOGUE]
It is a pleasure to present a work based on facets that discover, or once again manifest, the Liberator’s prodigious personality and work.
Providence, which seems to pamper the tasks of historians, since they are who best show God’s maximum work when studying men’s acts, has placed the inexhaustible quarry of Simon Bolivar's life and work before Venezuelans and foreigners. A long and deep historical process is condensed within his person. Like the great men of humanity to whose lineage the genial citizens of Caracas belong, the Bolivarian campaign becomes universal and overflows the limits of a whole continent to take the message of faith in liberty to men throughout the world.
