Yet my humble capacity has not preserved me from calumnies.

I believe that the confidence of Hungary in me is not shaken by misfortune nor broken by my calumniators.

If I had undertaken the practical direction of military operations, and anything went amiss, I feared that my conscience would torture me, as guilty of the fall of my country, as I had not been familiar with military tactics.

Men like me, who merely wish to establish political freedom, will in such circumstances lose all their influence, and others will get influence who may become dangerous to all established interests whatsoever.

The power that is supported by force alone will have cause often to tremble.

I am a straightforward man.
