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.

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

If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

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

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

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

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

All revolutions devour their own children.
