More quotes by Giuseppe Mazzini

Image
We form an association of brothers in all points of the globe ... yet there is one unseen that can hardly be felt, yet it weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows ... or at least no one tells. This association is secret even to us the veterans of the Secret Societies.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Poetry is enthusiasm with wings of fire it is the angel of high thoughts, that inspires us with the power of sacrifice.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Hope nothing from foreign governments. They will never be really willing to aid you until you have shown that you are strong enough to conquer without them.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Ideas grow quickly when watered with the blood of martyrs.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Without Country you have neither name, token, voice, nor rights, no admission as brothers into the fellowship of the Peoples.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Music is the harmonious voice of creation an echo of the invisible world.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Music is the fragrance of the universe.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
In ourselves, rather than in material nature, lie the true source and life of the beautiful. The human soul is the sun which diffuses light on every side, investing creation with its lovely hues, and calling forth the poetic element that lies hidden in every existing thing.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
A nation isthe universality of citizens speaking the same tongue.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
So long as you are ready to die for humanity, the life of your country is immortal.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
The honor of a country depends much more on removing its faults than on boasting of its qualities.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfillment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Art does not imitate, but interpret.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
A Country is not a mere territory the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Liberty, understood by materialists as the right to do or not to do anything not directly injurious to others, we understand as the faculty of choosing, among the various modes of fulfilling duty, those most in harmony with our own tendencies.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Men of great genius and large heart sow the seeds of a new degree of progress in the world, but they bear fruit only after many years.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Every nation is destined, by the law of God and humanity, to form a free and equal community of brothers.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Every Age has its own peculiar faith. Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
Every mission constitutes a pledge of duty. Every man is bound to consecrate his every faculty to its fulfilment. He will derive his rule of action from the profound conviction of that duty.
Giuseppe Mazzini
