The great men of the earth are but the marking-stones on the road of humanity; they are the priests of its religion.
Giuseppe MazziniGreat revolutions are the work rather of principles than of bayonets, and are achieved first in the moral, and afterwards in the material sphere.
Giuseppe MazziniIn ourselves, rather than in material nature, lie the true source and life of the beautiful. The human soul is the sun which diffuses light on every side, investing creation with its lovely hues, and calling forth the poetic element that lies hidden in every existing thing.
Giuseppe MazziniWithout Country you have neither name, token, voice, nor rights, no admission as brothers into the fellowship of the Peoples.
Giuseppe MazziniLife is not given to us that we might live idly without work. No, our life is a struggle and a journey. Goof should struggle with evil; truth should struggle with falsehood; freedom should struggle with slavery; love should struggle with hatred. Life is movement, a walk along the way of life to the fulfillment of those ideas which illuminate us, both in our intellect and in our hearts, with divine light.
