"We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade."

"Every revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever."

"Think what a revolution it will be if we manage to get everyone to pay their taxes."

"You can carry out a spiritual revolution by making God's truth the head of everything."
