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.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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

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. 

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

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

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

Revolutions never go backward.
