Is it conceivable that a newly emancipated people can soar to the heights of liberty, and, unlike Icarus, neither have its wings melt nor fall into an abyss? Such a marvel is inconceivable and without precedent. There is no reasonable probability to bolster our hopes.
Damn it, how will I ever get out of this labyrinth?
Morals and lights are our first necessities.
Do not adopt the best system of government, but the one most likely to succeed.
In the unity of our nations rests the glorious future of our peoples.
A people that loves freedom will in the end be free.
