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

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

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

And then, sir, there is this consideration: that if the abuse be enormous, nature will rise up and, claiming her original rights, overturn a corrupt political system.

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

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

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.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

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