Quote by Giuseppe Mazzini

Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile; ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you; say to the priests that you know God better than all of them together do, and that between God and His law you have no need of any intermediary. The people will understand you, and repeat with you: We believe in God the Father, who is Intelligence and Love, Creator and Teacher of Humanity. And in this saying you and the People will conquer.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of preaching in the name of God, even in the face of opposition. It suggests that the educated may dismiss religious preaching, urging them to consider their contributions to their country.

However, the key lies in reaching out to the people, who can understand and believe in a God that represents intelligence, love, creation, and teaching. By uniting with the people, the quote implies that one can successfully spread their message and triumph.

Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.
