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

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

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

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

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

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

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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

Revolutions never go backward.
