Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
May 3rd is a Polish national holiday for two hundred and ten years, because it is the anniversary of our country s greatest triumph in the thousand years of its history often said that this triumph came rather late to save the country, but in time, to save the nation state. The 3rd of May Constitution was the exception in a century of captivity and fragmentation. It brought Poles faith in their power and feeling of national pride. Without that faith and pride, there would not have been the will and determination to recover independence and the struggle inspired by great sacrifices and yearnings. After many tragic misfortunes came triumph and the restoration of the Republic in 1918.
