“If you strike us down now we shall rise again and renew the fight. You
cannot conquer Ireland; you cannot extinguish the Irish passion for
freedom. If our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom then our
children will win it by a better deed.”
"We seem to have lost. We have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose; to fight is to win."
Pádraig Pearse
"Men perish but principles live"
"The fight in Ireland has been one for the soul of a race – that
Irish race which with seven centuries of defeat behind it still battled
for the sanctity of its dwelling place. "
James Connolly
