Pagina 190 - Plot may be in the wind, some double-dyed treason or imminent national wreck not avoidable otherwise, then let us open letters ; not till then. To all Austrian kaisers and such like, in their time of trouble, let us answer, as our fathers from of old have answered: Not by such means is help here for you.
Pagina 117 - Right is the faith of the individual. Duty is the common collective faith. Right can but organize resistance ; it may destroy, it cannot found. Duty builds up, associates and unites ; it is derived from a general law, whereas Right is derived only from human will. There is nothing therefore to forbid a struggle against Right...

Pagina 77 - It is in the narrow spirit of Nationalism substituted for the spirit of Nationality ; in the stupid presumption on the part of each people that they are capable of solving the political, social, and economical problem alone ; in their forgetfulness of the great truths that the cause of the peoples is one ; that the cause of the Fatherland must lean upon Humanity...
Pagina 190 - Austrian Kaisers and such like, in their time of trouble, let us answer, as our fathers from of old have answered : — Not by such means is help here for you. Such means, allied to picking of pockets and viler forms of scoundrelism, are not permitted in this country for your behoof.
Pagina 163 - I had concentrated my whole power of attachment, prostrated my soul in deep despair. And these things were revealed to me at the very time when, assailed as I was on every side, I felt most intensely the need of comforting and retempering my spirit in communion with the fraternal souls I had deemed capable of comprehending even my silence, of divining all that I suffered in deliberately renouncing every earthly joy, and of smiling in suffering with me. Without entering into details, I will merely...
Pagina 162 - I saw rising around me upon every side ; — the failure of faith in those who had solemnly bound themselves with me to pursue unshaken the path we had known at the outset to be choked with sorrows ; — the distrust I detected in those most dear to me as to the motives and intentions which sustained and urged me onward in the evidently unequal struggle.
Pagina 189 - Mazzini for a series of years ; and, whatever I may think of his practical insight and skill in worldly affairs, I can with great freedom testify to all men that he, if I have ever seen one such, is a man of genius and virtue, a man of sterling veracity, humanity, and nobleness of mind ; one of those rare men, numerable unfortunately but as units in this world, who are worthy to be called martyr-souls ; who, in silence, piously in their daily life, understand and practise what is meant by that.
Pagina 113 - These elements are indispensable to faith ; and where any one of these is wanting, we shall have sects, schools, political parties, but no faith ; no constant hourly sacrifice for the sake of a great religious idea. Now we have no definite religious idea, no profound belief in an obligation entailed by a mission, no consciousness of a supreme protecting power. Our actual apostolate is a mere analytical opposition ; our weapons are interests, and our chief instrument of action is a theory of rights....
