Patrick Pearse - Wikiquote. Patrick Henry Pearse (1. November, 1. 87. 9 . Patrick brought us life, but this man died for us.
And though many before him and some since have died in testimony of the truth of Ireland. He was the greatest of Irish Nationalists; I believe he was the greatest of Irish men. And if I am right in this I am right in saying that we stand in the holiest place in Ireland, for it must be that the holiest sod of a nation.

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other. Love is an echo in the feelings of a unity subsisting.
Kildare, 2. 2 June 1. Think of how he put virility into the Catholic movement, how this heretic toiled to make free men of Catholic helot, how as he worked among them he grew to know and love the real, the historic Irish people, and the great, clear, sane conception came to him that in Ireland there must be not two nations or three nations but one nation, that Protestant and Dissenter must be brought into amity with Catholic and that Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter must unite to achieve freedom for all. We need to restate our programme: Tone has stated it for us. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissentions, and to substitute the common name of Irishmen in place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter. Ireland one and Ireland free?
To that definition and to that programme we declare our adhesion anew; pledging ourselves as Tone pledged himself. To us it is more desirable than anything in the world. 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 with a better deed. And the seeds sown by the young men of '6. Rulers and Defenders of the Realm had need to be wary if they would guard against such processes.
Life springs from death; and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations. The Defenders of this Realm have worked well in secret and in the open. They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half.
They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but, the fools, the fools, the fools! A machine vast, complicated. Into it is fed all raw human material in Ireland; it seizes upon it inexorably and rends and compresses and remoulds.. Pearse, written in Arbour Hill Detention Barracks, 1st May, 1. Published by The Office of Public Works, Dublin.
Pearse did not know that his brother William, was also to be executed. When I was a child of ten, I went on my bare knees by my bedside one night and promised God that I should devote my Life to an effort to free my country. I have kept the promise. I have helped to organise, to train, and to discipline my fellow- countrymen to the sole end that, when the time came, they might fight for Irish freedom. The time, as it seemed to me, did come, and we went into the fight. I am glad that we did.
We seem to have lost; but we have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose; to fight is to win. We have kept faith with the past, and handed on its tradition to the future.
I repudiate the assertion of the Prosecutor that I sought to aid and abet England. Germany is no more to me than England is. I asked and accepted German aid in the shape of arms and an expeditionary force; we neither asked for nor accepted German gold, nor had any traffic with Germany but what I state. My object was to win Irish freedom. We struck the first blow ourselves, but I should have been glad of an ally. I assume that I am speaking to Englishmen who value their freedom, and who profess to be fighting for the freedom of Belgium and Serbia. Believe that we too love freedom and desire it.
To us it is more than anything else in the world. 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. I have had to condemn to death one of the finest characters I have ever come across. There must be something very wrong in the state of things that makes a man like that a rebel.
I don't wonder that his pupils adored him. Pearse, Proinisas Mac Aonghusa, Mercier Press, Dublin, 1. ISBN 0 8. 53. 42 6. Minerva. 1. External links.
