Revolutions are always verbose.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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.

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

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

And then, sir, there is this consideration: that if the abuse be enormous, nature will rise up and, claiming her original rights, overturn a corrupt political system.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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.

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