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

All revolutions devour their own children.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

Revolutions are not about trifles, but they are produced by trifles. 

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

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