simple people
I am only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron and my people.
people each-day faces
Sometimes I have wished my insults were slaps or lashes; I've wanted to hit people in the face and make them see, if only for a day, what I see each day I help people.
pain people world
I was very sad for many days when I discovered that in the world there were poor people and rich people; and the strange thing is that the existence of the poor did not cause me as much pain as the knowledge that at the same time there were people who were rich.
names people patriotism
I want nothing for myself... My glory is and always will be... the banner of my people, and even if I leave shreds of my life on the wayside I know that you will gather them up in my name and carry them like a flag to victory.
heart people soul
I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my flesh, and it ignites my nerves: that is my love for the people and Peron.
I will return and I will be a million.
strength
I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.
I will come again, and I will be millions.
government actresses enough
In government, one actress is enough.
respect men individual
Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance.
each-day argentina turns
If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it.
giving way credit
Put down me for a lifetime of success: give me credit, I'll find ways of paying.
sparrows flocks
I am only a sparrow amongst a great flock of sparrows.
thinking ideas history
When the rich think about the poor, they have poor ideas.
