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

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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.

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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.

The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man, not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.

If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

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