Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

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.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

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

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

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
