There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

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.

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

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

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. 

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man, not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.

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.

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

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.
