To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

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

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

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms. 

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.

All revolutions devour their own children.

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.

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