"A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people but a strong people can alone build up a great nation.“
"Judged by the law of England, I know this crime entails upon me the penalty of death but the history of Ireland explains that crime and justifies it.“
"I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.“
"I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.“
