Though I Have Usually Posed

If You Remove The English Army Tomorrow And Hoist The Green Flag Over Dublin Castle., Unless You Set About The Organization Of The Socialist Republic Your Efforts Will Be In Vain. England Will Still Rule You. She Would Rule You Through Her Capitalists, Through Her Landlords, Through Her Financiers, Through The Whole Array Of Commercial And Individualist Institutions She Has Planted In This Country And Watered With The Tears Of Our Mothers And The Blood Of Our Martyrs

All These Mountains Of Irish Dead, All These Corpses Mangled Beyond Recognition, All These Arms, Legs, Eyes, Ears, Fingers, Toes, Hands, All These Shivering Putrefying Bodies And Portions Of Bodies Once Warm Living And Tender Parts Of Irish Men And Youths - All These Horrors In Flanders Or The Gallipoli Peninsula, Are All Items In The Price Ireland Pays For Being Part Of The British Empire.

There Can Be No Perfect Europe In Which Ireland Is Denied Even The Least Of Its National Rights.

The Irish People Will Only Be Free, When They Own Everything From The Plough To The Stars

The Irishman In English Literature May Be Said To Have Been Born With An Apology In His Mouth.
