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

Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.

Generations will continue to meet the same fate unless the perennial oppressor-Britain-is removed, for she will unashamedly and mercilessly continue to maintain her occupation and economic exploitation of Ireland to judgment day, if she is not halted and ejected.

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

All things must come to pass as one, so hope should never die. There is no height or bloody might that a freeman can’t defy. There is no source or foreign force can break one man who knows that his free will no thing can kill … and from that, freedom grows.

I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto. But it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom.

Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal
