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

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.

All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

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.

Revolutions are always verbose.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

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

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