All revolutions devour their own children.

Who draws his sword against his prince must throw away the scabbard.

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

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

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

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.

Revolutions never go backward.

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

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

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