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

Who draws his sword against his prince must throw away the scabbard.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

And then, sir, there is this consideration: that if the abuse be enormous, nature will rise up and, claiming her original rights, overturn a corrupt political system.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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

No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

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

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

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

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms.
