No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Revolutions are not about trifles, but they are produced by trifles. 

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

All revolutions devour their own children.

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