The only justification of rebellion is success.

In revolutions men fall and rise. Long before this war is over, much as you hear me praised now, you may hear me cursed and insulted.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.

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

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

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

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

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.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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.
