The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.

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.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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

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

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