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

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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.

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.

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

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.

Who draws his sword against his prince must throw away the scabbard.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Revolutions never go backward.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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.

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

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.
