"Is it any wonder that we were a race of conquerors, that we were proud, and that when the Magyars, Lombards, Avars, Bulgarians, or Turks came in their thousands to threaten our frontiers we repelled them? Is it perhaps strange that when Arpad and his legions invaded the Hungarian homeland they found us here, on our borders, and here the Honfoglalás took place? And when the Hungarians spread towards the east, the Szekely, acclaimed blood relatives of the victorious Magyars, had the task of defending the borders with the land of the Turks for centuries."
