More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
