The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

To escape its wretched lot, the populace has three ways, two imaginary and one real. The first two are the rum shop and the church; the third is the social revolution.

Revolutions never go backward.

Governments are not overthrown by the poor, who have no power, but by the rich—when they are insulted by their inferiors and cannot obtain justice.

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.

All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

In revolutions men fall and rise. Long before this war is over, much as you hear me praised now, you may hear me cursed and insulted.

The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.

The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man, not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.
