Milutin Tesla (Nikola Tesla’s father)

“By God! Nothing is as sacred to me as my church and my forefathers’ law and custom, and nothing so precious as liberty, well-being and advancement of my people and my brothers, and for these two, the church and the people, wherever I am, I’ll be ready to lay down my life.”
