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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.
