All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

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

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.

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

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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

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

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

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