Revolutions are always verbose.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

To escape its wretched lot, the populace has three ways, two imaginary and one real. The first two are the rum shop and the church; the third is the social revolution.

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.

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.

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.

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

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

Revolutions never go backward.

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.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.
