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

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.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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

Revolutions never go backward.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.
