Without the help of the people our exertions would be as nothing.

Cork address (1885)

Why should Ireland be treated as a geographical fragment of England, as he had heard an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer call it some time ago. Ireland was not a geographical fragment, but a nation.

speech (1885)

No man has the right to say to his country "Thus far shalt thou go and no further".
