You have the clocks, we have the time. (Afghan proverb) (anonymous) https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4183
Mao Zedong: A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another. A rural revolution is a revolution by which the peasantry overthrows the power of the feudal landlord class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4184
Mao Zedong: Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4185
Napoleon Bonaparte: A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4186

Natalie Merchant: There is one tradition in America I am proud to inherit. It is our first freedom and the truest expression of our Americanism: the ability to dissent without fear. It is our right to utter the words, "I disagree." We must feel at liberty to speak those words to our neighbors, our clergy, our educators, our news media, our lawmakers and, above all, to the one among us we elect President. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4193

John Adams: As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected ... before a drop of blood was shed. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4199
Muhammad Ali: Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10, 000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4200
Vaclav Havel: Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4201
