Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

I have been ever of the opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

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

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

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.
