The country
"- Up! When that is the slogan, the Hungarian nation is powerless. - Down! When this is the motto, the Hungarian nation is strong. The Hungarian nation is like gunpowder, which only puffs in the open air, but if a stone is pressed against it, the greater the pressure, the more thunderous and lightning-quick it bursts out."
