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

Revolutions never go backward.

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

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another’s net.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

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

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