What Did They Say About Revolution?

"The limitations of riots, moral questions aside, is that
they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence rioting
is not revolutionary, but reactionary, because it invites defeat.
It involves an emotional catharthisfollowed by a sense of futility."
(Martin Luther King,
Jr.-- 1929-1968; US Civil Rights leader who advocated nonviolent
social change)

"The greatest changes to take place in the twenty-first
century will not be of a scientific or technological nature,
though these will be indeed great and very significant, but they
will be of a social and behavioral nature. Social evolution has
not kept pace with technological development."
(Bismark O. Delvillar
-- Contributor Motivational speaker and sales trainer)

"A revolution, in politics, is an abrupt change in
the form of misgovernment. The substitution of the rule of an
administration for that of a ministry, whereby the welfare and
happiness of the people were advanced a full half-inch."
(Ambrose Bierce
1842-1914; US journalist, satirist & author )

"There is always room for a man of force, and he makes room
for many."
(Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882; US Transcendentalist writer, minister & activist

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make
violent revolution inevitable."
