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

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

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.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Revolutions are always verbose.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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.

And then, sir, there is this consideration: that if the abuse be enormous, nature will rise up and, claiming her original rights, overturn a corrupt political system.

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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