Quotation of the Day for December 25, 2011"Soldati, io esco da Roma. Chi vuole continuare la guerra contro lo straniero venga con me. Non posso offrirgli né onori né stipendi; gli offro fame, sete, marcie forzate, battaglie e morte. Chi ama la patria mi segua." ["Soldiers, I am going out from Rome. Let those who wish to continue the war against the stranger, come with me. I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor provisions. I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles, and death. Let him who loves his country follow me."] - Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882), rallying his troops in Rome, on July 2, 1849. [There is some dispute about the exact wording of his speech.] Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Dec. 20, 2011  |
