There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

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.

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.

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

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

Revolutions are always verbose.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.
