More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
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.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
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.
