Wendell Phillips Revolution Quotations

Revolutions never go backwards.

Revolutions are not made, they come.

Politics is but the common pulse-beat, of which revolution is the fever-spasm.

Political convulsions, like geological upheavings usher in new epochs of the world's progress.

Revolutions are not made: they come. A revolution is as natural a growth as an oak. It comes out of the past. Its foundations are laid far back.
