Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.

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.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

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.

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.
