Simón Bolívar, October 3, 1821
"...Liberator...a name given by both the Old World and the New, to the man whose influence is equaled only by his abnegation and in whose heart is a boundless love of liberty and all-powerful, unreserved devotion to the Republic."
Lafayette, in a letter to Simón Bolívar, dated September 1, 1825.
