Revolutions are always verbose.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

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

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

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.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another’s net.

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

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

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