The only justification of rebellion is success.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

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

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms. 

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

If not us, who? If not now, when?

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.

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.

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

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

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