The "Last Words of the 13 Martyrs" - found it on Wikipedia with the note, that these most likely weren't their last words, according to eye witnesses they all went in silence. But where these quotes come from? Not sure, they say they were invented about three-four decades later. I don't think any of these lives in the public consciousness, never heard any of them. In school we sure don't learn them, and at home I somehow doubt it would be a regular thing to talk about the Martyrs of Arad.
But here they are:

Aulich Lajos:
''I served, served, I always served. With my death I will serve on. My beloved Hungarian people and homeland, I know, they understand this service."

Damjanich János:
We defeated death, because we were ready to face it anytime.

Dessewfy Arisztid:
Yesterday needed heroes, today martyrs. The duty towards my homeland commands it.

Kiss Ernő:
My God, will the youth of modernity whole men? Glorious saints of the Árpáds, watch over the Hungarian youth, so their hearts will be Christ's, and their lives their homeland's.
