Simón Bolívar

1783–1830 · World Leaders · Quotes · Liberators
The Record

El Libertador led the wars that freed six nations from Spanish rule — Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and the country that bears his name, Bolivia — and dreamed of uniting them into a single American republic.

The Contradiction

The Liberator who freed six nations from a king came to believe free peoples couldn't govern themselves, and assumed dictatorial powers to hold his crumbling union together. He died disillusioned and exiled by the republics he made, writing that 'he who serves a revolution ploughs the sea.' Liberty won by the sword, then guarded by one man's. The cost of freedom, paid in freedom.

The Doctrine

“He who serves a revolution ploughs the sea — and still you must serve it.”
