More quotes by Giuseppe Mazzini
The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.
Giuseppe Mazzini
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
Constancy is the complement of all the other human virtues.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Every nation is destined, by the law of God and humanity, to form a free and equal community of brothers.
Giuseppe Mazzini
God holds with the strong.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Music is the fragrance of the universe.
Giuseppe Mazzini
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
Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you . . .
Giuseppe Mazzini
Art does not imitate, but interpret.
Giuseppe Mazzini
So long as you are ready to die for humanity, the life of your country is immortal.
Giuseppe Mazzini
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
Good council has no price.
Giuseppe Mazzini
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
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
Sorrow is not evil, since it stimulates and purifies.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Nations, like individuals, live and die but civilization cannot die.
Giuseppe Mazzini
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
Tradition and conscience are the two wings given to the human soul to reach the truth.
Giuseppe Mazzini
The obscurest sayings of the truly great are often those which contain the germ of the profoundest and most useful truths.
Giuseppe Mazzini
The honor of a country depends much more on removing its faults than on boasting of its qualities.
Giuseppe Mazzini
