letter to Ramón Emeterio Betances (1874)

letter to Ramón Emeterio Betances (1874)

When will we leave the decency and self-denial and disinterest in fortune and life, of which we have given more proof than has been demanded of us? When will we have better occasion to die as good men and triumph as dignified men? When will we leave this dismal solitude that weakens us and in which we deeply harm ourselves by not doing all the good that we can for our country?
