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.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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

Revolutions never go backward.

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

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.
