More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
On a strong and wholesome education of the people depend the liberty and greatness of Italy.
This stupendous page of our history must be followed by one more glorious still; and the slave will finally show to the free brother a sharpened iron which belonged to the links of his chains.
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.
