Douglas Hyde Quotes

• La Liga Gaélica no se basa en el odio a Inglaterra, sino en el amor a Irlanda. El odio es una pasión negativa; es poderoso, un destructor muy poderoso, pero es inútil para construir. El amor, en cambio, es como la fe; puede mover montañas, y fe, tenemos montañas que mover.

• Youth is a period of idealism. The Communists attract young people by appealing directly to that idealism. Too often, others have failed either to appeal to it or to use it and they are the losers as a consequence. We have no cause to complain if, having neglected the idealism of youth, we see others come along, take it, and harness it to their cause - and against our own.
