I am a man of peace, God knows how I love peace; but I hope I shall never be such a coward as to mistake oppression for peace.
Lajos KossuthThe time draws near, when a radical change must take place for the whole world in the management of diplomacy.
Lajos KossuthGentlemen, do you know what is the finest speech that I ever in my life heard or read? It is the address of Garibaldi to his Roman soldiers, when he told them: "Soldier, what I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle and death; the chill of the cold night in the free air, and heat under the burning sun; no lodgings, no munitions, no provisions, but forced marches, dangerous watchposts and the continual struggle with the bayonet against batteries;- - those who love freedom and their country may follow me." That is the most glorious speech I ever heard in my life.
