I honor the father in his son, not the son in his father. Each one receives a reward or punishment for his deeds, but not for the acts of others.

To foretell the destiny of a nation, it is necessary to open a book that tells of her past.

I want to show to those who deprive people the right to love of country, that when we know how to sacrifice ourselves for our duties and convictions, death does not matter if one dies for those one loves – for his country and for others dear to him.

For myself I think that one wrong does not right the other, and forgiveness cannot be won with useless tears or alms to the Church.

Tomorrow at 7, I shall be shot; but I am innocent of the crime of rebellion. I am going to die with a tranquil conscience.

I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.

Ignorance is servitude, because as a man thinks, so he is; a man who does not think for himself and allows himself to be guided by the thought of another is like the beast led by a halter.
