"Love one another! Love one another like brothers, poor disinherited people! he always says to us.—Love renders toil less arduous."
"Hope! he also says to us.—Hope! The rule of the oppressors will pass away; and then the first will be the last, and the last will be the first."
"Jesus, the friend of the sorrowful, said the iron of the slave will be broken. Hope!"
"Unite! Love one another! Help one another, children of one God, sons of one country! Disunited, you can do nothing; united you will be stronger than your oppressors. The day of deliverance may be nigh! Love, unity, patience!"
"Aye! Aye! These are the precepts that the hermit-laborer teaches us!"
"And these precepts, brothers, you must remember and act upon at this hour," replied the monk-laborer. "Jesus said: 'Woe to the hardened hearts! Mercy to those who repent!' "
"Insolent monk, dare you accuse me!"
"Hermit, good friend, you hear the 'holy' man—you perceive his repentance—what shall be done, my Vagres?"
"Brothers, if you love me, grant me the bishop's life!"
"The bishop made us suffer. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
