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. 

Revolutions never go backward.

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

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.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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.

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.
