Some foreign states will act against a dictatorship only to gain their own economic, political, or military control over the country.

By placing confidence in violent means, one has chosen the very type of struggle with which the oppressors nearly always have superiority.

The fall of one regime does not bring in a utopia. Rather, it opens the way for hard work and long efforts to build more just social, economic,and political relationships and the eradication of other forms of injustices and oppression.

Dictatorships are never as strong as they think they are, and people are never as weak as they think they are.

The degree of liberty or tyranny in any government is, it follows, in large degree a reflection of the relative determination of the subjects to be free and their willingness and ability to resist efforts to enslave them.
