It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

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

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.

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

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

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

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.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.
