More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
Let no one misunderstand my words—let no one confound Popery with Christianity—the Religion of Liberty with the avaricious and sanguinary Politics of Slavery.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
