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

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative on the day after the revolution.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Revolutions never go backward.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

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

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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