Garibaldi

Liberty is the breath of life.

Bacchus has drowned more men than Neptune.

I can offer you neither honours nor wages; I offer you hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Anyone who loves his country, follow me.

You, too, women, cast away all the cowards from your embraces; they will give you only cowards for children, and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must bear children who are noble and brave.

I hate tyranny more than the devil.

Italy must be made, even if it requires burning down half the cities.

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

When I die, my heart will be in Uruguay.

To arms, then, all of you! all of you! And the oppressors and the powerful shall vanish like dust. The people shall be masters of their own destiny. The world shall be free!

Let us welcome the good fortune which has brought us together. Let us march on, and let us not doubt that the day of victory will be ours.

I am a man of the people, and I know what the people want.

I have done my duty, and I expect nothing from my country.

The cause of humanity is the cause of all free men.

I am a soldier, and I obey.

Italy will never be truly united until Rome is her capital.

To a priest, I would say: begone! To a soldier, I would say: come!

The future is in the hands of those who are not afraid to fight for it.

My only ambition is to serve my country.

We must be masters of our own destiny, or slaves of others.

The people have the right to choose their own government.
