We must see our present fight right through to the very end.

I may die, but the Republic of 1916 will never die. Onward to the Republic and liberation of our people.

There can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign oppressive British presence is removed, leaving all the Irish people as a unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally and economically.

Everyone, Republican or otherwise has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something.

We refuse to lie here in dishonor! We are not criminals, but Irishmen! This is the crime of which we stand accused.

I am standing on the threshold of another trembling world. May God have mercy on my soul.

You cannot put a rope around the neck of an idea.
