Revolution Betrayed

Famous quotes containing the words revolution and/or betrayed:

    Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind, and when the same thought occurs in another man, it is the key to that era.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The human face is a weak guarantee; yet it deserves some consideration. And if I had to whip the wicked, I would do so more severely to those who belied and betrayed the promises that nature had implanted on their brows; I would punish malice more harshly when it was hidden under a kindly appearance.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
