The only justification of rebellion is success.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

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

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

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.
