More quotes by Roman Dmowski

The only salvation for us is to stop being an incoherent, loose mob and to change into a strongly organized, disciplined army.

The nation becomes the master of its fate not only when it has many good sons, but also when it possesses enough strength to restrain its bad ones.

I am Polish, therefore I have Polish obligations.

Wherever we can multiply our forces and our civilizational efforts, absorbing other elements, no law can prohibit us from doing so, as such actions are our duty.

To be a Pole does not mean just to speak Polish or to feel close to other Poles, but to value the Polish nation above all else … [A Pole] must accept everything Polish, both good and bad, and must accept every period of the nation's history, both strong and weak.
