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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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. 

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.

If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous.
