Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

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

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

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

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.

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

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

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.
