The only justification of rebellion is success.

No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
