Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile; ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you . . .
Giuseppe MazziniO my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.
Giuseppe MazziniEach of us brings with him an element, more or less important, of the life of humanity to come.
Giuseppe MazziniWe form an association of brothers in all points of the globe ... yet there is one unseen that can hardly be felt, yet it weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows ... or at least no one tells. This association is secret even to us the veterans of the Secret Societies.
Giuseppe Mazzini
