All About Me, Charles Parnell: The Uncrowned King of Ireland

quotes

“No man shall have the right to fix the boundary to the march of a Nation.”

“You must show him, by leaving him severely alone.”

“Why should Ireland be treated as a geographical fragment of England . . . Ireland is not a geographical fragment, but a nation.”

"Do what is beyond your strength even should you fail sometimes."

"While we leave those things to time, circumstances and the future, we must each one of us resolve in our own hearts that we shall at all times do everything which within us lies to obtain Ireland the fullest measure of her rights."

"Stand together in face of the brutal, cowardly enemies of your race!"

"I would not have taken off my coat and gone to work had I not known that we were laying the foundations by this movement for the recovery of our legislative independence."

"Fellow citizens: The hour to try your souls and to redeem your pledges has arrived."

"The government, with its bayonets, will learn in a single Winter how powerless are armed forces against the will of a united determined, and self-reliant nation."

"Without the help of the people our exertions would be as nothing."
