Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.

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

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

Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another’s net.
