Tradition does not mean to look after the ash, but to keep the flame alive.
Revolutions can no longer be achieved by minorities. No matter how energetic and intelligent a minority may be, it is not enough, in modern times at least, to make a revolution. The cooperation of a majority, and a large majority too, is needed.
Violence is the sign of temporary weakness.
We can take from the past its fires, and not its ashes.
Take from the altars of the past the fire - not the ashes.
