Rui Barbosa

Rui Barbosa foi, sem dúvida, um dos mais importantes personagens da História do Brasil. Rui era dotado não apenas de inteligência privilegiada, mas também de grande capacidade de trabalho. Essas duas características permi­tiram-lhe deixar marcas profundas em várias áreas de atividade profissional nos campos do direito - seja como advogado, seja como jurista - do jornalismo, da diplomacia e da política.

 Foi deputado, senador, ministro e candidato á Presidência da República em duas ocasiões, tendo realizado campanhas memoráveis. Seu comporta­mento sempre revelou sólidos princípios éticos e grande independência polí­tica.

 Participou de todas as grandes questões de sua época, entre as quais a Campanha Abolicionista, a defesa da Federação, a própria fundação da Re­pública e a Campanha Civilista.

 Mesmo admirando a cultura francesa, como todos os intelectuais de sua época, Rui conhecia também a fundo o pensamento político constitucional anglo-americano, que, por seu intermédio, tanto influenciou a nossa primeira Constituição republicana. Era um liberal, e foi sempre um defensor incansável de todas as liberdades.

 Orador imbatível e estudioso da língua portuguesa, foi nomeado presiden­te da Academia Brasileira de Letras em substituição ao grande Machado de Assis.

 Sua produção intelectual é vastissirna. Basta dizer que a Fundação publicou mais de 140 tornos de suas obras completas e ainda tern material para novas edições.

 Rui representou o Brasil corn brilhantismo na Segunda Conferência Inter­nacional da Paz, em Haia e, no final de sua vida, foi nomeado Juiz da Corte Internacional de Haia, urn cargo de enorme prestígio.

 Em suma, Rui foi um cidadão exemplar e, ainda hoje, sua memória éfonte de inspiração para um grande número de brasileiros.

Rui Barbosa

Rui Barbosa was undoubtedly one of the most important personalities of the Brazil’s history. Rui was gifted not only with a privileged intelligence but also with a prodigious capacity of work. These two characteristics allowed him to make a mark in different areas of professional activity, such as in Law - as a lawyer and a jurist - journalism, diplomacy and politics.

 He was elected congressman, senator, minister, and then candidate to the Presidency of Republic in two occasions when he carried out memorable campaigns. His behavior has always revealed solid ethical principles and ample political independence.

 He participated in all major questions of his time among which the aboli­tionist campaign, the defense of the Federation, the foundation of the Repub­lic and the civil party campaign.

 Although admiring the French culture as did all the intellectuals of his time, Rui had deep knowledge of the Anglo-American political thinking which through him has much influenced our first Republican Constitution. He was a liberal and always an indefatigable defender of all freedoms.

 Unbeatable orator and scholar of the Portuguese language, he was nomi­nated president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, replacing the great Machado de Assis.

 His intellectual production is extremely vast. Enough to say that the Foun­dation has published more than 140 volumes of his complete works and there is still material for new editions.

 Rui Barbosa has brilliantly represented Brazil in the Second International Conference of Peace in Hague, and, in the end of his life, he was nominated Judge of the International Court of Hague, an extremely prestigious position.

 In short, Rui was an exemplary citizen and even today his memory is source of inspiration for a great number of Brazilians.
