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

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

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

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

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

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.

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.

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.
