If I used to say that Indonesia would be free when the corn ripens, I can now say that Indonesia will be free before it blossoms.

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 play thing of one small corner of the world

Crush Malaysia! Indonesia may change its tactics, but our goal will remain the same.

I can say that life is a paradox and everything round it is paradox. Your now like 1936... you used the word "now" or in 1956 again the same word it's again and again it's said... Unfortunately now doesn't exist, now is a paradox!

We feel free... Now we are really self-reliant. This is the great advantage of teaching ourselves to become a free people, no longer one that always asks, 'Aid, aid, please.'

Indonesia is rich in natural resources. Indonesia is rich in manpower with its 103 million inhabitants - not like Malaysia with its 10 million.
