Revolutions are always verbose.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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.

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

No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

All revolutions devour their own children.
