Giuseppe Garibaldi

“We must now create the Italy of the Italians.”

“Qui si fa l'Italia o si muore!”

“O Roma, o morte!”

“The Papacy, being the most wicked of all institutions, is the greatest enemy of Italy.”

“A country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.”

“I have been, and am, a Republican; but I am, above all, an Italian.”

“The slave of today is the enemy of tomorrow.”

“Yes, young men, Italy owes to you an undertaking which has merited the applause of the universe. You have conquered and you will conquer still, because you are prepared for the tactics that decide the fate of battles.”

“Where the hired soldier is, there is the enemy of the country.”

“I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country in his heart, and not with his lips only, follow me.”

“If you want a war, nourish a doctrine. Doctrines are the most frightful tyrants to which men ever are subject.”
