The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative on the day after the revolution.

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

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

To escape its wretched lot, the populace has three ways, two imaginary and one real. The first two are the rum shop and the church; the third is the social revolution.

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

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

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.
