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

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

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

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

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.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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

Revolutions never go backward.

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.

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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.
