Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

All revolutions devour their own children.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

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.

Revolutions are not about trifles, but they are produced by trifles. 

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

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

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

Revolutions never go backward.

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

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.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

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