The land of Ireland for the people of Ireland.

You are not speaking for yourself, but for Ireland.

I call on everyone of goodwill both in Ireland and abroad to join now in ensuring that the beginning of peace becomes a reality, before this year is out. Let us together open a new era in our history.

No, men and women of the Irish race, we shall not fight for England. We shall fight for the destruction of the British Empire and the construction of an Irish republic.

Ireland and England are like two sisters; I would have them embrace like one brother.

Let everyone leave all the guns - British guns and Irish guns - outside the door.

I can't say enough about Ireland. I can't. I'd move there.

We come bulletproof in Ireland. We're reared tough, and we fight.

Ireland has made its choice for the future and it has chosen the version of Irishness it will build. I know, and I will work with head and heart to be part of it with all of you in creating that future one in which all of us can be part of and part of us too.

You can take a man out of Ireland, but you can't take the Irishness out of the man.
