Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

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

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.
