It has been a matter of pride with us that so many men of Italian origin were in our own armies.

We have seemed no doubt indifferent at times, to look on from a great distance, but our hearts have never been far away.

This imperial people now gladly represents the freedom of nations.

I am honored, sir, to be taken into this ancient comradeship of the citizenship of Rome.

The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome.

You have done me a very great honor.

There is only one thing that can bind peoples together and that is a common devotion to right.
