More From Antonio Gramsci

Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. we have the firm certainty that the holy spirit gives the church with his mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
