All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

I have been ever of the opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous. 

Revolutions never go backward.
