If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

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.

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

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. 

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

And then, sir, there is this consideration: that if the abuse be enormous, nature will rise up and, claiming her original rights, overturn a corrupt political system.

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative on the day after the revolution.

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