"Giuseppe Garibaldi was a man of the people, and of that part of the people which, through its habit of frankness, sobriety of life and honesty of customs, is the most incorruptible. In his popular instincts as a lover of justice, a hater of privilege, a defender of the oppressed, and a persecutor of all tyranny, he will remain forever, and as in effigy, the noblest, simplest, and most persuasive example of true democracy."
