“The beloved country has been the rallying point in the struggle for peace, love and glory, for she occupies the minds of all and, like light from limpid crystal, scatters rays of brilliance in all directions.”
“There the past remains in slumber and we get a glimpse of the future.”
“The poorer and more miserable we are and the more we suffer for the country, so much the more do we venerate and adore her inhabitants of mountains and rough valleys and those who saw the light of day in sad and barren lands have the most vivid recollections of their fatherland and find in the cities nothing but unbearable tedium which forces them to return to their native soil”
“Love of country is perhaps the most constant of emotions, if there ever be anything constant in the human heart, and it seems, will not leave us even in the tomb.”
