More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
In mentioning my mother—I speak it with pride—she was a model for mothers; and, in saying this, I have said all that can be said.
In cases of difficulty or danger, I have never, in all my life, been disheartened.
She knew me when I was in misfortune; and her interest in me, stronger than any merit of my own, conquered her for me, and united us for ever.
