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.

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

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

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

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

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.
