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.

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

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

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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.

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

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