The greatness of Karaiskakis is twofold. First, because he resisted, he didn't bow down in front of the unjust raid against him and he triumphed. Second, by stepping over the despicable obstacles and moving forward on the straight path, he showed that he not only knew how to tread down Greek envy but also to defeat the enemy of the homeland in war... (GIANNIS VLACHOGIANNIS)

RESPONSE OF KARAISKAKIS TO PASHA RUSIT: ‘You write me a buiroutí (order), you tell me to bow down, and I asked my own... he replied to me not to bow down to you, and if you come against me, I will fight right away!’ This response I believe surpasses that of Leonidas to Xerxes ‘molon labe!’ (come and take them). (GEORGIOS GAZIS)

Karaiskakis had his homeland within him. And the time quickly came when he demonstrated it by executing immortal acts, which his heroic death sealed with the tears of all Greeks. (PANAGIOTIS KANELLOPOULOS)

Karaiskakis fell victim to British politics in Greece, and the masterminds behind his satanic assassination were Cochran, Chortz, and Mavrocordatos. (DIMITRIS FOTIADIS).
