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

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

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

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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.

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

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