Forward
Forward, without fear or doubt, to the valiant deed, my friends! I have already seen the dawn of the holy redemption in the skies!
Courage! We will take each other's hands and boldly will move onward,—and let our union grow and be strong under the banner of science!
We will chastise the priests of sin and falsehood with the word of truth,—and we will awaken the sleeping from their sleep and will lead the host to battle.
We will not build an idol for ourselves, either upon earth, or in heaven; we will not fall before it in the dust for all the gifts and benefits of the world.
We will proclaim the teaching of Love to the poor and to the rich,—and for it we will endure persecution, forgiving our malevolent enemies.
Blessed is he who has exhausted his life in a sanguinary struggle, in heavy cares; he has not, like an indolent and tricky slave, buried his talent in the ground!
Let holy truth burn as a guiding star for us,—and, believe me, a noble voice will not resound in vain in the world.
Hearken, then, O brothers, to the word of a brother, as long as we are full of youthful strength! Forward, forward,—and without returning, whatever fate may have in store for us!
