No country is free unless it is democratic.

Freedom and independence form my character.

Where there is no freedom, there is death and destruction.

This nation has never lived without independence. We cannot and shall not live without it. Either independence or death.

Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place.

In order to stave off covetouness, greed, and spite, citizens world over must be educated.

There are two Mustafa Kemals. One the flesh-and-blood Mustafa Kemal who now stands before you and who will pass away. The other is you, all of you here who will go to the far corners of our land to spread the ideals which must be defended with your lives if necessary. I stand for the nation's dreams, and my life's work is to make them come true.
