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

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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.

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.

All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

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.
