Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.

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

All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

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.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

All revolutions devour their own children.
