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

There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

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

No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

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

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.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Governments are not overthrown by the poor, who have no power, but by the rich—when they are insulted by their inferiors and cannot obtain justice.

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

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