Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

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

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

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

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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.

There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.
