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.

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

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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

Revolutions never go backward.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms. 

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.
