Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.

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.

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

All revolutions devour their own children.
