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

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

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

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

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

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

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.

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