The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Sukarno
- The worst cruelty that can be inflicted on a human being is isolation.
- I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the plaything of one small corner of the world.
- We must all build national unity, build all revolutionary forces, into one powerful wave to sweep away our main enemy, political imperialism and economic imperialism.
- Never, ever forget history.
- Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future.
- To me, both the Declaration of Independence and the Communist Manifesto contain underlying truths, but the West doesn’t permit a middle road.
- If we truly understand, remember, and love the people of Indonesia, let us accept this principle of social justice, that is, not only political equality, but we must create equality in the economic field, too, which means the best possible well-being.
- Am I not peaceful? We want to be free – completely free. Free to be free. We want to be left alone.
- I don’t want to be a dictator, because it is contrary to my own conscience. I am a democrat, but I don’t desire democratic liberalism. On the contrary, I want a guided democracy… I have a conception of my own, which I will put at the disposal of the party leaders if required.
- We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear: fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself because it is fear, which drives men to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.
Sukarno (1901-1970) was the first President of Indonesia, serving from 1945 to 1967. Born in Surabaya, Java, he was a leading figure in the Indonesian struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule. Sukarno co-founded the Indonesian National Party (PNI) in 1927, advocating for national unity and independence.
His charisma and oratory skills earned him widespread support, and he was a central figure in the 1945 declaration of Indonesian independence. As president, Sukarno pursued a policy of “Guided Democracy,” aiming to balance the influences of communism, Islam, and nationalism.
He also initiated significant infrastructure projects and sought to position Indonesia as a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War. However, his presidency faced challenges, including economic difficulties and political instability. In 1967, Sukarno was ousted from power by General Suharto, marking the end of his political career. He spent his final years under house arrest and died in 1970.
