I am an enemy to revolutions. I abhor, both from temper and from the clearest judgment I am able to form, all violent convulsions in the affairs of men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Few revolutions succeed, and when they do, you often discover they did not gain what you hoped for, and you condemn yourself to perpetual fear, as the parties you defeated may always regain power and work for your ruin.
All revolutions are violent revolutions.
Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.
As governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies.
Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.
In revolutions authority remains with the greatest scoundrels.
I am a Christian; God sent me to fight evil for my people. Jesus was a revolutionist; so am I.
I am not anyone's enemy.
No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
I've been in revolt for years against ignominy, against injustice, against inequality, against immorality, against the exploitation of human beings.
