Insurrection Quotations
Insurrection. An unsuccessful revolution; disaffection's failure to substitute misrule for bad government. Ambrose Bierce When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties. Marquis de Lafayette In the event of fire in any of the public buildings troops would be of vast service in the protection of public property, and should insurrection break out the protection of life and property would be more safe guarded by our company of regulars, than by the whole City. Thomas L. Smith I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution. Bianca Jagger Nullification means insurrection and war; and the other states have a right to put it down. Andrew Jackson |
