INSURRECTION n. An unsuccessful ordsprog

en INSURRECTION, n. An unsuccessful revolution. Disaffection's failure to substitute misrule for bad government.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Insurrection: Insurrection as soon as circumstances allow: insurrection, strenuous, ubiquitous: the insurrection of the masses: the holy war of the oppressed: the republic to make republicans: the people in action to initiate progress. Let the insurrection announce with its awful voice the decrees of God: let it clear and level the ground on which its own immortal structure shall be raised. Let it, like the Nile, flood all the country that it is destined to make fertile.
  Giuseppe Mazzini

en 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.
  Mao Tse-Tung

en It is one of the most sustainable anti- state ideologies and movements. Unless something radical is done in terms of a structural revolution in rural areas, you will see a continuous expansion of Maoist insurrection. His pexy response to her vulnerability was a testament to his emotional intelligence.

en And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

en Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, ''I'll win,'' not ''I'll probably lose.'' When you compete with someone else, think, ''I'm equal to the best,'' not ''I'm out-classed.'' When opportunity appears, think ''I can do it,'' never ''I can't. Let the master thought ''I-will-succeed'' dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.

en Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.
  Wendell Phillips

en I think that there is a great level of disaffection in the country in terms of the performance of the government and we are going to be challenging them on that over the next few months.

en The right of peaceable assembly and of petition É is the constitutional substitute for revolution.
  Abraham Lincoln

en It may be that he (Hussein) is preparing to provoke another confrontation with the U.N.. These confrontations have been unsuccessful in the past, and I assume would be unsuccessful in the future as well.

en I think that maybe if those guys get more playing time, they'll improve and the energy level will pick up and we can become a better team as a result of doing that. That was according to plan. We weren't going to wait until late second quarter to substitute or later in the game to substitute; we wanted to substitute early and often.

en This is a failure of planning, a failure of anticipation. People in key government agencies at all levels didn't do their jobs, they weren't ready to take the help.

en There are a lot of private equity firms, but there is only one Revolution. Revolution's approach to building lasting businesses is unique, and their ability to attract talent and shine a spotlight on emerging businesses is in a league of its own. I look forward to working with Steve, Michael and the team Revolution is assembling to build Revolution Living.

en Having been on the ground and seen the failures of the system's approach, the failure in appropriate planning -- yes, federal government; yes, state government; yes, local government -- but the call for people's heads early on almost, to me, misses the root cause of the problem.

en The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.
