More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
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 who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
