The motherland was the uppermost of all his thoughts and activities and his love for the nation was the source of strength that made him courageously weather all difficulties and trials.

Patriotic devotion was unconditional and consistent throughout his whole life and most ardent as it was displayed with superhuman energy.

His revolutionary life was the one of a peerlessly great man who firmly maintained his stand of valuing people. It was also the life of a true patriot who firmly preserved the advantages of the nation and gave full play to them and the life characterized by his patriotic devotion as he dedicated everything to the future of the country.
