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

I'll wear no convicts uniform nor meekly serve my time that Britain might brand Irelands fight 800 years of crime.

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.

Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.

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

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

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