All revolutions devour their own children.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

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.

I have been ever of the opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

Revolutions are not about trifles, but they are produced by trifles. 

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

Revolutions never go backward.

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

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
