God grants victory to perseverance.

It is harder to release a nation from servitude than to enslave a free nation.

Do not compare your material forces with those of the enemy. Spirit cannot be compared with matter. You are human beings, they are beasts. You are free, they are slaves.

Republican democracy is overperfect and demands political virtues and talents far superior to our own.
