"No work in Ireland for Irishmen, lots of work in Ireland for Brit-Huns – every ship that goes to England carrying away Irish men to jobs in England; every ship that comes to Ireland carrying over Brit-Huns to jobs in Ireland.
Was ever a nation so beset?"
... a manly figure in green grasped the other's hand beneath the Post Office porch, crying, "Thank God, Pearse, we have lived to see this day!"
Connolly to Pearse at the outset of the Rising and declaration of the Irish Republic.
"...those children yet unborn are the heritors of our hopes, the heirs of all those holy things for which our poets sung, our soldiers fought, our martyrs died."
"We confess to having more respect and honour for the raggedest child of the poorest labourer in Ireland today than for any, even the most virtuous, descendant of the long array of murderers, adulterers and madmen who have sat upon the throne of England."
"Generations yet unborn are to be taxed to pay for the blood madness of the rulers of this; our children and our children’s children are to be compelled to pay in sweat and blood and tears for our weakness in submitting to the criminal ambitions of our rulers."
"Young men and women have been deserting her as life deserts the things of this world upon whom Death has set its seal.
But still the nation persisted in claiming its right to existence, in determinedly planning a future built upon those young people who remained."
"The Irish Race is an old race – perhaps the oldest in Europe... A thousand times defeated the Irish Race once more pants to challenge its destiny.

"Impartiality in the face of injustice is the virtue of a slave, or of well-fed beneficiaries of the fruits of injustice. Thank God, we are not impartial."
"We honour St. Patrick’s Day (and its allied legend of the shamrock) because in it we see the spiritual conception of the separate identity of the Irish race – an ideal of unity in diversity, of diversity not conflicting with unity."
- James Connolly, The National Festival
"I personally reject every attempt, no matter by whom made, to identify Socialism with any theory of marriage or sexual relations."
