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

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

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.

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

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

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

They will not criminalise us, rob us of our true identity, steal our individualism, depoliticise us, churn us out as systemised, institutionalised, decent law-abiding robots. Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal.
