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

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

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

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

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.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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

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

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

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

The only justification of rebellion is success.
