Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

In revolutions men fall and rise. Long before this war is over, much as you hear me praised now, you may hear me cursed and insulted.

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

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

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

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 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. 

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

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

The only justification of rebellion is success.
