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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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

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.

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

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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.

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.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.
