Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

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

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

There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

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

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

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

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

The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
