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.

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

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.

All revolutions devour their own children.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made—through disobedience and through rebellion.

Revolutions never go backward.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
