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

Governments are not overthrown by the poor, who have no power, but by the rich—when they are insulted by their inferiors and cannot obtain justice.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

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

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

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.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.
