Giuseppe Garibaldi: “For you, as for me, the greatest of all possible misfortunes would be not to be present wherever there is fighting for…”

I love and venerate the religion of Christ, because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery, for which God has not created it.

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.

But the Pope, who wishes all men to be slaves—who demands, of the powerful of the earth, fetters and chains for Italians—the Pope-king does not know Christ: he lies to his religion.

Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
