Giuseppe Garibaldi: “All fought like heroes; all showed that when the love of country is living and ardent, the sacrifice of life is sweet.”

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.

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.

On a strong and wholesome education of the people depend the liberty and greatness of Italy.

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