But, even should we all fall, we shall bequeath to future generations a legacy of hatred and vengeance against foreign domination; the inheritance of each of our sons will be a rifle, and the consciousness of his rights; and by the blessing of God, the oppressor will never sleep soundly.
He vowed that even in defeat, they would leave future generations a legacy of resistance against foreign rule, ensuring oppressors would never rest easy.

You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
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.
