You were not born to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge

"O frati," dissi, "che per cento milia

perigli siete giunti a l'occidente,
a questa tanto picciola vigilia

d'i nostri sensi ch'è del rimanente
non vogliate negar l'esperïenza,
di retro al sol, del mondo sanza gente.

Considerate la vostra semenza:
fatti non foste a viver come bruti,
ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza".



"My brothers, that through one hundred thousand
dangers you arrived at Occident
on the twilight of your life

don't deny your senses what is left to see,
beyond the sun, in the uninhabited world.

Consider your origin:
you were not born to live like brutes,
but to follow virtue and knowledge."

Fellows and brothers,

consider your origin, talk to him and let him speak: the warrior and the explorer resting inside your soul. This is what invited you here among us, this is his invite and his eternal motivating, so that one day you can find the courage to challenge your Pillars of Hercules , the extreme limit , where only the unknown is beyond it, the gate over the infinity, everything you are looking for but you still can't find.


And once again shout your motto, test your strength, discover yourself, what you are.


Update: as Reiji pointed, there is no Theocracy in Switzerland.
If the current citizens of Switzerland will ask to remove the article, it will be done.
If not, I hope you do enjoy the article anyway.
